Red Stag by Jim Beam /
Jim Beam was ready to introduce the world to the first flavored bourbon. Their newest offering called Red Stag is infused with natural black cherry flavor, making it a different breed of bourbon. So how do you get younger consumers who don't normally drink bourbon to try it? We created a friendly, iconic spokes-stag to be face of the brand offering clever quips and witty observations. This campaign helped blaze a trail for the brand and connected Red Stag with those out on the hunt for fun.

This integrated campaign created a voice and persona for the brand, leading to a very successful launch. Provocative work helped Red Stag connect with hip, young influencers. Through print, POS, music sponsorship, sampling events, promotions, digital, and social media efforts it built a buzz that made Red Stag an instant hit. In the first year, 85,000 cases were sold and that number skyrocketed to 190,000 cases the next year.
Website Content:
The website was the hub for the brand providing drink recipes and connecting consumers to activation events. Since Red Stag is a different breed of bourbon it made sense to partner with Kid Rock who is a different kind of rock star. He blends hip hop, rock and country so Red Stag sponsored his Call of the Wild tour, offering exclusive content and conducting tastings at shows.
