1800 Tequila

Change the Game

Cultural Insight: Tequila is a rapidly growing spirits category and with the advent of silver consumption has morphed into a “tequila-vodka” entity.

Brand Asset: 1800, with its iconic masculine bottle and authentic-tasting product line featuring its silver and 100-proof select silver products is the world’s finest tequila.

Growth Strategy: 1800 is the authentically masculine product that’s just right for today’s non-pretentious tequila drinkers.

Three-O Vodka

What’s Your O-Face?

Cultural Insight: The imported vodka market had become increasingly cluttered and positioned as an exclusive club, limited to brands featuring elaborate and pretentious back stories.

Brand Asset: Three-O Vodka comes in fifteen surprisingly exhilarating flavors such as root beer, cherry and grape.

Growth Strategy: The Three-O “What’s Your O-Face?” campaign took ownership of the unexplored fun portion of the imported vodka landscape.
