Millennials and generations born after often long for the simpler times before the internet, yet the struggle to disconnect is real as phone addictions keep pulling them back into the digital world—and on April 4th in Toronto, Captain Morgan is inviting adults to The Captain’s Yard: The Ultimate Signal-Free Party.
"Captain Morgan has always been about bringing the fun, but these days, we see screens getting in the way," said Nadia Niccoli, Head of Marketing, Diageo Canada. At the one-night-only event, guests will enjoy Captain Morgan cocktails, mocktails, a live DJ, games, and more can't-miss interactive moments that inspire everyone to be fully present.
To inspire fans to unplug, the brand created an exclusive Captain's Case for discouraging scrolling that doubles as a coaster.
