Premium gin brand BOMBAY SAPPHIRE has announced the launch of a new marketing campaign titled 'Senses Stirred,' which includes a promotional film dedicated to the 'BOMBAY & Tonic' cocktail. At the heart of the campaign is the notion that a 'BOMBAY & Tonic' is an altogether different drink than a traditional G & T.
Comprised of 30, 15, and 6-second commercials, each ad highlights how the BOMBAY branded G & T is able to ignite all five senses with its superior, botanical taste profile. In addition, the ads look to emphasize the complex vapor-infusion process used by the brand, representing it through the use of glamourous art installations that utilize smoke and floating spherical objects.
Definitely, the brand recognizes that the classic gin-based cocktail has had a revival in recent years, and is therefore looking to capitalize on the opportunity. "We want to make 'BOMBAY & Tonic' a household name for the gin and tonic drinking moment, whenever effortless refreshment is called for," explained Natasha Curtin, Global Vice President for BOMBAY SAPPHIRE.
