Stoli, which last year launched its campaign ‘Would you have a drink with you?’ now turns to music talent projects, the area where it is quite new (unlike Converse or Wrigley). The alcohol brands has issued a call for all its fans to support aspiring musicians in its new initiative on Stoli’s Facebook page, give them an opportunity to get featured on mix tapes and have a country-wide recognition. For the project dubbed ‘A Band Apart,’ the brand teamed up with FanBridge and Flavorpill—the contest can be accessed via a special hub here.

What happens when two iconic brands come together? Their collaborations usually result in quite predictable products such as extravagant cars (auto + luxury), sneakers (footwear + apparel), bikes (commuter transport means + apparel) and hip bottles (soft drinks + fashion) to name but a few. Following the trend of teaming up for creating something new, SKYY Vodka and Diesel partnered to develop a new product, which is (quite surprisingly) neither jeans nor a cocktail—it is… a new swimsuit capsule collection to be unveiled this week at the beginning of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim (July 14–18, Miami).
After a decade of crafting and development, the new exquisite ABSOLUT ELYX, super premium vodka from ABSOLUT is launched in the global duty free/travel retail market. With its new long-awaited super-premium vodka ABSOLUT ELYX, the brand has explored the depths of its heritage: five centuries of vodka-making tradition in the rich farmlands of Skåne in southern Sweden.
Brown-Forman, a diversified producer of fine quality wine and spirits, unveiled today the new bottle design for its Finlandia Vodka brand. Webb Blevins, global design director for Brown-Forman led the design vision for Finlandia and joined with Hirst Pacific Ltd to redesign the structural packaging of Finlandia Vodka.
ABSOLUT Vodka, the iconic alcohol brand deeply involved into creative movement (focusing on visual art—its numerous themed projects prove it), also collaborates with music talents on short documentaries, celebrating the performers and their achievements. In March 2010, the brand teamed up with Jay-Z to release a 14-minute documentary about the musician’s life and work (the video also featured footage from a concert at Madison Square Garden), and now it’s announcing another two-part film starring rapper and record producer Cee Lo Green—the first chapter of their work titled ‘Cee Lo Distilled’ will appear on the brand’s Facebook page on June 27.
New event 5 Days La Roma within 365 days project by The ABSOLUT Company took place in Mexico City, May 24—28, 2011. 365 days is a continuous initiative where ABSOLUT explores creativity in the most interesting places of the world getting international artists to take part in it. The last year it was 30 Days New York. This time there were two hotspots—Mexico City and its art scene. La Roma, the artistic area of the city offers galleries, institutions, architecture and people who contributed to its bohemian but still historical aura.
