ABSOLUT GOES DARK

Though Absolut is a giant in the industry, it was facing challenges, as spirit drinkers in the U.S. turned increasingly from vodka to whiskey (and, in particular, to bourbon). From 2010 to 2014, the brand saw U.S. sales (based on distributor tallies) dive 10.7% to roughly 4.1 million nine-liter cases.


In that same period of time, the bourbon category had grown approximately 17 percent and the rye subcategory climbed by a staggering 536 percent (88,000 cases in 2009 to 561,000 cases in 2014).


Cue, Oak by Absolut.


We launched in 6 key markets, partnering with the local distribution teams to sell in Oak by Absolut. We then partnered with those bars to create custom drinks, menus, signage and events to stir excitement and awareness.

PANTS OFF, PARTY ON

No. The world doesn’t need another celebrity Tequila. But goodness gracious the Tequila industry sure could use a shot of fun. And that’s exactly what Pantalones is: Really good, really clean fun. Pantalones Tequila is smooth, flavorful, and great for sipping, shooting or mixing up in your favorite Fancy Pants cocktail.


I scheduled and staffed over 150 in-store demos in Q1 of 2024 throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.


Pantalones sales increased by 26% and resulted in an average ROI of $15,000 per weekend, totaling a profit of over $180,000 in Q1.

REAL & NATURAL COCKTAIL

IN A CAN

How do you break through a crowded market that already has a recognized favorite, while trying to create brand recognition and promote a healthier alternative to the norm?

After spending years working the natural CPG industry, the founders of West Peak noticed there weren't many products on the market that had natural ingredients or used real juice. This sparked them to create West Peak, a better-for-you alcohol brand, in a can.

We created a captivating activation in Denver, partnering with vlogger Matthew Beem, who constructed an11-foot-tall ice cream cone filled with vanilla ice cream, which scooped up the world record for ‘World’s Largest Ice Cream Cone’. This activation was part of a comprehensive campaign that included social media engagement, influencer partnerships, and extensive sampling through Walmart's services.
