Jim Beam is helping Australians unleash their animal nature—the bourbon brand has launched a Tarzan-inspired bizarre campaign dubbed ‘It’s Time,’ which is rolling out across a number of platforms including TV, cinema, print, online and ambient point of sale. Developed by Sydney-based agency The Works, the new $5m advertising effort is revolving around the idea that the time has come to get together with friends for a glass of fine bourbon. And here, old, primeval methods of summoning mates beat modern approaches like mobile phone calls, texting or writing an e-mail.

Fans of flavored vodka finally have what they have been really looking for with the launch of new Pucker™ Flavored Vodka from Beam Global Spirits & Wine. By borrowing the award-winning flavor expertise of Pucker Cordials to create a distinctive vodka drinking experience, the new alcohol drink stands out as a flavored vodka worthy of being characterized this way. Unlike other flavored vodkas, Pucker Vodka relies on fruit—apples, grapes, cherries and oranges—to create its bold natural flavors.

Beam Global’s Hornitos Premium Tequila is giving up-and-coming bands a chance at stardom via the new Hornitos Tequila Mariachi Mash Up competition with official media partner Billboard Magazine. Whether it’s rock, hip-hop or classical, the national contest challenges musical acts of all types to create their own mariachi-inspired mash up in celebration of the official kick-off to tequila season.

Jim Beam has launched an extensive advertising campaign dubbed “8 Years Changes Everything” to highlight the product’s eight-year aging process. The nationwide marketing push includes the Beamfire Sweepstakes (allowing consumers to throw any used item into a virtual bonfire to celebrate the process of their personality maturing), a range of advertisements, and Jim Beam Black® Double Aged Bourbon’s revamped packaging.
