Free brew from BWS.
BWS is celebrating lockdown freedom with its new campaign Can’t wait mate, including a giveaway for customers.
The new campaign, Can’t wait mate, focuses on bringing people together to share a long-awaited drink. BWS is giving away a free six-pack to share with mates in the lead up to Summer.
The campaign is being rolled out with a paid campaign on Facebook and Instagram, as well as digital partnerships with Pedestrian, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Urban List and BuzzFeed.
BWS will be using micro and macro influencers, via Carat, to share diverse and fun content across all Instagram formats to drive mass awareness and encourage engagement and shareability. Shoppers can share on social media who they are looking forward to sharing a drink with - using the hashtag #cantwaitmate.
M&C Saatchi Sydney creative director Brendan Donnelly says the campaign highlights what people have been looking forward to as restrictions ease.
“Once haircuts are out of the way, most of us can't wait to celebrate our freedom by catching up with family and friends,” says Donnelly.
“What better way to do that than sharing free beers together! #cantwaitmate is a simple social campaign that lets your mates know there's a beer waiting for them when you catch up.”
Dentsu’s media agency Carat handled all media strategy and buying for the campaign. Carat used influencers and editorial coverage across youth publications to bring the Share a Drink platform to life.
BWS head of marketing Vanessa Rowed says there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
“Lockdowns and restrictions have made us long for those much-needed social interactions,” says Rowed.
“But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and we are celebrating by encouraging Aussies to get together and share drinks with their mates.”
The promotion is open to people over the age of 18. They can head to BWS.com.au or the BWS app and create an account to redeem the free brew. When buying two six-packs of XXXX DRY or James Squire Zero, they will receive their second one for free at checkout. T&Cs apply.
