In 2001, the distinctly blue liqueur Hpnotiq burst onto the scene and became a staple of hip-hop and nightlife. Mentioned in at least 163 songs' lyrics during its heyday, Hpnotiq clearly did something right at launch.

With a new campaign, called #Since2001, from creative shop Team Epiphany, the brand is looking to boost its awareness and tap into millennial consumers' nostalgia for the early 2000s—knowing full well that millennials weren't out clubbing back then.
