Bundaberg Rum
We partnered with an iconic Aussie drinks brand to create awareness and excitement for the newly-launched Campfire Rum.
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.
“We loved working with the We Are Explorers team! They were the perfect partner in helping us launch Bundaberg Campfire Bourbon Barrel Rum, a new permanent addition to our portfolio. The strategic thinking that WAE brought to target this consumer moment, coupled with the executed content and talent collaborations, complemented our campaign brilliantly!"
We built a ‘Find your Campfire Moment’ landing page featuring a map that brought together 40 of the best camp locations across Australia, as sourced by our team of outdoor experts
Custom designs were created in collaboration with Diageo, giving the campaign a very unique and strong visual aesthetic
We partnered with 3 x influencers who shared the concept natively with their hyper-engaged audiences
We drove participation through a multi-partner competition alongside Red Paddle Co, Birkenstock, and Alton Goods
3 x native editorials and reels were produced that embodied inspiration and practical elements to inject a genuine flavour to the launch
Additional depth was included through updating 10 existing relevant articles
for the landing page
If Eva had to pinpoint her favourite part of camping, hands down in the campground dirt, it’d be chatting with mates around the campfire (bonus points for a rum in hand).
Part-time Explorer and full-time delish meal maker, Meg Yonson has dreamed up these scrumptious dessert and cocktail recipes for your next golden hour campfire, both featuring the cockle-warming flavours of Bundaberg Campfire Bourbon Barrel Rum.
“The minute we received this brief, we knew it was a perfect fit for We Are Explorers - H&S and DRUM were incredibly excited to partner with WAE to inspire their Aussie explore audiences with Campfire moments and drive trial of the new RTD for Bundaberg Rum.”
