Jack Daniel’s new $2.3M ‘Sinatra Select’ campaign (inspired by its biggest fan) that just launched – and timed to be in place for the 100th anniversary of Frank Sinatra’s birth in 2015. An authentic connection with a deep backstory between the two American icons is weaved together with animation throughout the new ad. Legend has it that Sinatra was introduced to JDW in the late ‘40s by Jackie Gleason and was known to make frequent mentions of Jack on stage, including toasting audiences with a glass in hand. "That’s the nectar of the gods, baby.” The spot rolls out in select markets: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, and of course, Las Vegas. Goes national in June.

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
