Alibi Bourbon uses tattoos and bogans in ‘no nonsense’ positioning
A new campaign for Alibi Bourbon uses tattoos and over-the-top hard-living life stories to create a ‘tough’ and ‘no nonsense’ image.
The campaign, by JayGrey, uses the tagline ‘seriously hard liquor’ with characters from the lower classes who are ‘BS free urban warriors’, according to the agency.
The print ads feature images of bogans in supermarkets with bad slogan tattoos.
Using radio, the campaign uses three rough voices that talk about their hard lives growing up before revealing they are women.
I’m speechless…
Clearly aimed at a different demographic. I would need to drink many bottles of the stuff before I would find these images in the least bit attractive.
That is the most condescending ad I’ve seen in some time. Besides, teenage mums are probably not the audience we should incentivise to drink more…(yes, it’s condescending to say, but I don’t pretend to pay tribute to them)
Curious they”re either English or Irish voices.
I know booze in the home isles is pretty awful at the best of times, but an appalling attempt at humour to sell a paint-stripper and drain cleaning fluid falls flatter than a pommy pint.
Bright, deep gold colour. The moderate aromatics are confectionary-like revealing banana lolly, bubblegum and vanilla bean followed by the faintest whiff of charry oak. The aromas follow onto the palate which is straightforward, medium bodied, semi sweet and a little flabby but balanced by a mild spicy flourish … confectionary aftertaste.
Not me – Nick’s tasting notes.
Just not sure what part of the whole experience he was tasting.
“The fact that our point-of-sale campaigns were to run at biker events gave us a clue straight away what tone of voice we had to adopt.”
I think Mr Furby should attend said biker events and present the ideas to the attendees and their WAGs , explaining of course his insights into their lifestyle and culture. I am sure he would be warmly received.
It’s Furbs,
He’s a pom and loves his UK voices.
Another ad that whilst not appealing to the sensibilities of many, will likely hit the nail on the head with the audience.
Kids, this won’t be appearing in Vogue or Sydney Weekend Magazine.
Jesus Jay you really are homesick aren’t you?.
Maybe you haven’t noticed that the Australian vernacular has moved on since MInder was a hit…
.leaaavve itt ouut
I feel like I could get hepatitis just by touching the bottle…
Oh dear boganville plus! Makes me want to never drink bourbon again…..
Cor this campaign don’t arf pen and ink!!!! Both pointless and stupid well done Furball!!
The sooner we ban alcohol advertising (well actually, ban alcohol) the better, as evidenced by these ads.
