Jim Beam targets ‘bored beer fans’ with Highballs 7th January, 2021 by Owen Bellwood
Bourbon brand Jim Beam has launched a new campaign that promotes its signature Highball serve as an alternative for ‘bored beer fans’.
Jim Beam will host Beam Gardens pop-ups across the US
The new campaign launched across the US this month and encourages drinkers to order the Jim Beam Highball when they’re looking for a ‘light and refreshing’ option instead of a beer. The Highball drink is made by mixing Jim Beam Bourbon with ice and ginger ale.
The campaign first aired on 4 January with a TV spot titled Need a Break From Beer. The advert featured ‘classic beer tropes’, including a traditionally dressed German couple ordering a Bavarian-style hefeweizen, a man pushing a ‘dark, heavy brew’, and a pair of hipsters offering an India pale ale.
For many drinkers, there’s nothing more refreshing than a nice cold beer. One liquor maker, however, is hoping to break people out of the habit of just going straight to beer when they need to unwind.
Jim Beam is launching a new marketing campaign that asks beer drinkers to take a break from beer. According to a press release, the campaign kicks off in early January and is dubbed “Need a Break From Beer.”
The company isn’t just asking drinkers to change up their drinks, either. Jim Beam is promoting the Jim Beam Highball as a specific alternative to beer. The cocktail is simply just a combination of Jim Beam Bourbon, ice and ginger ale.
