James Bond In Whiskfall

Will James Bond Finally Change His Drink Of Choice?

By:  Faraaz Mohammed - Ali

This is a student concept for a Sheridan Pilon School Of Business Digital Marketing Course.

This campaign is created for the 1800 brand.  The main social media for this concept is Youtube, as 1800 has achieved the highest volume engagement through Youtube (millions of views).  In this idea, a video will be created using the most recent James Bond, Daniel Craig.  In their marketing material for the 1800 Tequila, the brand often mentions exchanging your drink for one of their Tequila’s.  In this way, in the Youtube videos, James Bond will be on a mission, doing his usual beating of villains, and just when he’s finished, he’ll stop at a local bar and order his favourite drink of choice, a Martini, shaken, but not stirred.  The bartender will make the drink, but not before taking a sip of his 1800 Tequila.  Upon seeing this, James Bond will ask the Bartender what he’s drinking, and the bartender will hand him the bottle.  At this point, Bond takes a sip and tells the bartender to hold on to the martini as he leaves the bar, 1800 Tequila in hand.

The goal of this marketing video will be to surpass the highest viewed 1800 video, with 10 million views.  Furthermore, the goal will be to convert this high number of views to actual subscribers as well, with a goal to net at least 5000 subscribers out of the video.  This video will be launched alongside Summer, in the month of June.

This video will be posted on Youtube, however it will be shared amongst other 1800 Tequila social media pages, primarily Twitter and Facebook.  The goal is to use this video to increase engagement on both these platforms, especially Twitter, where the brand has less than 1000 followers. 

Promotion of this video is following a vein similar to that of the Ray Liotta video.  Daniel Craig and his James Bond are centre stage here, and 1800 Tequila is a very small player.  Even without the tequila brand, people would enjoy the video, and as such share it with their friends and familes.  This is a way for 1800 to capitalize on entertainment value without being the area of focus on the video.  If enough people see James Bond without his signature Martini, it could rouse their interest to engage with 1800 through its various social media platforms, if not go out and buy the drink.

The target audience for this promotion are young individuals of legal age to drink alcohol.

Indirect Influence on Captain Morgan and Bacardi

When searching for Bacardi room indirect influences I found many different things. One of the first things I came across was a brief history of how they went from being a rum in Cuba to world famous.

http://rumconnection.com/bacardi-history/ this link will direct you to the history of Bacardi.

The second link I found was actually part of the Coca-Cola website where they are talking about the great pair of Bacardi Rum and Coca-Cola. You will be able to find the link here http://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/bacardi-and-coke-always-a-great-combination. Once Googled you can learn a lot more about history, brands, celebrities’ who support them and etc.

While I was searching Captain Morgan for indirect influences I came across some interesting links. The first link I came across was http://www.marketingmag.ca/brands/captain-morgans-east-coast-connection-143223. This talks about how Rum was a major drink in the East Coast of Canada and how Captain Morgan is trying to return the favor. They even released a commercial for the occasion which was a big hit.

The second link I came across was a blog written about the Cannon Blast https://therumhowlerblog.com/rum-reviews/flavoured-spiced-rums/captain-morgan-canon-blast/. This was a blog that talked about the taste of the rum and even gave suggestions of recipes to make it taste even better.
