Background
Situation
As the #1 beer brand in DR and the Caribbean, we are always encouraging people
to share a beer with the ones they love. But for valentine’s day we wanted to do the
opposite.
Brief
Create a digital campaign to invite people to share a beer
with their friends and loved ones.
Objectives
- Encourage consumption
- Change the cliché L.O.V.E conversation on valentine’s day.
- Provoke celebrities to get free mentions
Idea
We looked up for the most hated Dominican influencer on the internet
and with almost zero effort, we found June Gomez a digital comedian who’s
favorite hobby is to impersonate and make fun of celebrities.
With a public provocation we challenged him to offer a beer to all
of the celebrities he’s bullied before as a form of making peace with them
on Valentine’s day. Our goal was to get free mentions of the celebrities
who were provoke by June.
To keep the conversation alive we posted digital content giving reasons
to our users to publicly admit they owe some beers around and of course,
we also organized a public event for them to pay them.
Strategy
Target audience
Dominican celebrities and beer consumer under legal drinking age.
Approach
Our message was sent through all of our social media channels and then
we organized an event in a very popular drinking venue of the city
of Santo Domingo.
Execution
Implementation
We posted a video on our social media channels exposing June as the main subject
in the blacklist of many Dominican celebrities, challenging him to make peace with
them with a beer.
After we placed the conversation, we organized an experience for our consumer
to get together and also pay the beers they owe to their friends
Timeline
From February 12th to the 14th
Placement
Through all of our social media channels and an event in a very popular drinking
venue of the city of Santo Domingo.
Scale

all of the communities of the celebrities who joined the action.
Outcome

the beer lovers who where blacklisted, so they can have a great space to meet up
and pay their debts.
