Friday Stir

-Sure, it’s St. Patrick’s Day, but Jägermeister and beer are pairing up for a new campaign in Mexico designed to get around the rules in place in the country that prohibit consumers from touching alcoholic drinks in ads. Creative agency The Juju Mexico created a unique piece of branded content that delivers a drinking experience you can hear. The agency tapped into a specially designed guitar pedal called Minibar to modify sound using liquids. In the film for the Deer&Beer campaign, two guitar players, Ana Rizo and Billy Mendrix, trade riffs using the guitar pedals that bring the beverages harmoniously together in one cohesive song. Check out the case study to learn how it was done.
