CumminsRoss reveals new campaign for Woodstock Bourbon
CumminsRoss has revealed its newest campaign for Woodstock Bourbon as it looks to position the brand for a broader market, which is set to launch next month during the 2014 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix broadcast on Channel Ten.
The ‘How We Roll’ campaign features the people of Woodstock in Kentucky rolling around the town on barrels as they go about their daily business, with one barrel rider pulled over by police.
CumminsRoss CEO Sean Cummins said in a statement: “I am so proud of this work. It’s lovely storytelling, and sets up a strong enduring brand platform for Woodstock”.
The new campaign will launch with a 60 second online film and TVC during the 2014 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix broadcast in March, with an integrated campaign spanning across TV, radio, cinema, digital and in-store promotions throughout the Easter period.
Asahi Premium Beverages CEO Greg Ellery said in a statement: “This new campaign has already been embraced incredibly well by trade and consumers. It was essential that we broadened the appeal of Woodstock, and we believe this new campaign will do just that. CumminsRoss showed a deep understanding of the brand and their creative and media work was outstanding.”

Beautiful insight.
The more they turn the barrels the better the bourbon tastes.
Classic.

Why do alcohol brands keep promoting functional benefits in a category that is all about image and identity.
It’s a totally generic insight brought to life in such a cliché over-the-top way that all credibility is lost.

Because dark spirits in particular is all about appreciating the flavour as opposed to getting pissed. Even though RTDs are prevalent in Aus, and possibly the main purchase it all starts with the base spirit.
Good ad.

Great balance between communicating some rational benefits giving it credibility for a broader audience whilst keeping it fun and engaging for the younger RTD set.
Like it a lot.

So nice to see a singleminded, visually compelling piece of fun.
Add in some nice casting, a nod-to-Deliverance soundtrack & you have a much more engaging & entertaining piece than that expensive, over the top, over directed complex reading of the brief to camera by Mila Kunis for Jim Beam.
