APPLETON ESTATE RUM

From college hangover to tasting room

FROM CANE TO CUP

TIMELY CONTEXT:
Campari Group was looking to halo its premium rum offering. But millennials had a new definition of “premium.” It was about experiences, not products. And rum was certainly not considered premium by this audience. At best, it brought back hazy memories from college. At worst, a gag reflex. 


TIMELESS TRUTH:
Unlike the competition, Appleton Estate rum offered the story of its unspoiled terroir from Jamaica’s Nassau Valley. 


ICONIC BRAND:
“From Cane to Cup” made Appleton about a destination instead of a drink.

Custom materials created to target the frontlines, designed to educate bartenders and distributors about Appleton’s premium rum

RESULTS

Our work resulted in a +40% spike in Google searches for super-premium rums. 

The app we built was so successful for the brand that the Campari organization rolled out equivalent apps for other brands in its portfolio such as SKYY vodka.
