We completely re-designed the pre-mix SKYY Vodka can to become YYES Vodka, and turned our ring pull into an engagement ring pull. This special can celebrated the right of every Australian to pop the question. This proud statement showed solidarity with the LGBTQI+ community, at a time when they were under attack from the No campaign.

The classic slimline shape of the SKYY premix can remained, but was printed with new artwork, and a new ring pull was added.

The SKYY logo was replaced with YESS, and this new logo was given the rainbow treatment in the name of diversity.

The traditional ring pull was replaced by a special engagement ring pull – a detachable ring in gold-tinged brass, complete with a small cubic zirconia gemstone.

More than 50,000 of these unique cans were circulated throughout Australian liquor stores and venues.

A dollar from each YYES by SKYY Vodka can sold went to marriage equality charity ‘just.equal’ – and selling out our initial limited edition run raised $50,000 for their cause.

The YYES campaign spread around the world, garnering SKYY Vodka attention in global mainstream publications like USA’s Fox News, as well as various respected industry publications – achieving 100% positive sentiment despite the controversial topic.

This totalled a PR value of $3,145,083 and a reach of 1,475,817,284.

It even inspired one happy couple to get engaged – with many more to come.
