Transcript

Designing cool shit for 1942. We'd launch this whole new campaign better around a limited edition chrome bottle. We'd make the whole campaign space themed and call it tier. Starting with this ad with the iconic shape of the bottle and the tagline one small sip for rank, one giant leap for the night out, and the matching tier shirt. To go with the bottle, I do this all metal gifting set where the items are sitting on the surface of the moon. It includes this chrome rocket that turns into a cocktail shaker. For nightclubs, I do this bottle presentation where it looks like they're holding the moon, give them all matching chrome helmets. Inspired by this image, I'd run this ad that says will last you more than ten minutes, the blue better rocket tier shirt, this custom jacket, this blue hoodie, and a key chain that says remove before shot. The full 2042 campaign. I'm Julio. We need to make this happen.
