Description
Skrewball Whiskey, the leading peanut butter whiskey, is proud to unveil its new campaign and rallying cry, "Skrew the Usual," the brand's most ambitious launch to date. As the world's first super-premium peanut butter flavored American whiskey, Skrewball wants people to break away from the 'same old, same old' and revel in the surprisingly delicious flavors of life – enter "Skrew the Usual."
The campaign marks a significant milestone for Skrewball and the biggest launch since its acquisition by Pernod Ricard in 2023. It is accompanied by the release of a 30-second creative spot, called the "House of High Spirits," in addition to 15-second and 6-second short films. At the heart of the campaign is a new fictional spokesperson aptly named Skrew, who is the charismatic (and dashing, if we do say so ourselves) personification of Skrewball's charmingly mischievous spirit. In the spot, Skrew upends (read: improves) the conventions of the whiskey category by beckoning viewers to indulge their curiosity and experience the unusually delicious peanut buttery taste of Skrewball Whiskey.
As a relatively young brand that launched in 2018, Skrewball has grown to become the number one peanut butter whiskey in the United States with 83% of market share, the number two premium brand in the flavored whiskey category ($25+) for value and volume, and the number five brand overall¹ – now that's some nutty growth.
The campaign, created by The Martin Agency, kicks off via online video, social and search on Thursday, May 9, followed by disruptive out of home advertisements in key markets such as Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City come June.
This professional campaign titled 'Skrew the Usual' was published in United States in May, 2024. It was created for the brand: Skrewball, by ad agency: The Martin Agency. This Integrated medium campaign is related to the Alcoholic Drinks industry and contains 6 media assets. It was submitted about 1 year ago.
