Beefeater // Tell it over a beefeater
Problem Young Americans are “afraid” of gin. Because of the taste. Because it’s their grandparent’s drink. Because they don’t know when to drink it. How can we make gin relevant to a new generation of social drinkers?
Insight Gin is for dim lights and hushed tones, gin is for speakeasies, gin is for the post-work 1-on-1, gin is for a rant, not a rave.
Idea The conversation had over gin is gossip. It’s an intimate conversation between trusted individuals. Beefeater supports the intimacy that happens when you gossip.
