Bundaberg Rum

We partnered with an iconic Aussie drinks brand to create awareness and excitement for the newly-launched Campfire Rum.

Campfire Moments Bundaberg We Are Explorers

Time in the Aussie outdoors is a key socialising occasion, our task was to bring that to life and help Bundaberg Rum win share in mainstream dark spirits from the bourbon category.

We delivered a vibrant, evocative, and highly authentic campaign – ‘Find Your Campfire Moment’ – that cut through culture by refreshing Aussie socialising with a bang, driving trial and getting liquid on lips. Underpinning the campaign was our depth of knowledge and trust within the Australian outdoor and nature space that allowed the partnership to cut through in a memorable and high impact way.

This partnership was ignited with Diageo via Foundation Australia (recently merged with Hearts and Science) and supported by DRUM.
