Bacardí – Global
BACARDI launched a new marketing campaign, “Vivimos,” in celebration of the brand’s storied origins in Cuba. A pioneer in rum-making and key player in Cuba’s fight for independence starting in the late 1800s, BACARDI rum’s founder Don Facundo Bacardi Masso and other revolutionary family members including Emilio Bacardi, brought ground-breaking change to the rum industry and to Cuba despite endless challenges. The new campaign will drive consumer awareness and excitement while reinforcing the brand’s rich, courageous heritage at a time when authenticity and masculinity are key themes among target consumers. The campaign’s TV and digital films were directed by filmmaker Jake Scott and depict stories that were inspired by actual historical events that shaped the brand. The television spot “Cuba Libre” takes place during a time of political unrest in Cuba in the late 19th Century, when the country was fighting for freedom from Spain. Scott used this historical backdrop to shape his story on how the Cuba Libre, more commonly called BACARDI and cola, is the original cocktail of freedom.
