Absolut is getting ready to host an incredible virtual event that celebrates collective inspiration and human interaction as the UK prepares to connect once again after a year of being apart. Taking place on Thursday 15th July, ahead of when social distancing guidelines are due to be lifted in the UK, the #TogetherIRL event will be set against a backdrop of music, art and mixology, and viewers can tune in for free with their friends via Absolut’s Facebook page.
The digital celebration will see performances from Grammy-award-nominated musician MNEK, DJ’s Joel Corry and The Collyer Twins, and will be hosted by comedian, Munya Chawawa. An exclusive digital ‘sound portrait’ will be produced by contemporary artist, JP Jones, and a cocktail masterclass will teach those tuning in how to make an Absolut Passionfruit Martini and an Absolut Espresso Martini. At-home cocktail boxes are available to purchase in advance priced at £24.95 and contain all the ingredients to make two of each cocktail, glassware and a cocktail shaker.
The digital event forms part of Absolut’s global consumer engagement platform that celebrates the importance of meaningful connections, inspiring consumers to look forward to those moments where we’ll all be together again in real-life. This is the second time MNEK has worked with the brand, having featured in the ‘Nothing Beats #TogetherIRL’ national campaign earlier this year.
Marnie Corrigan, Brand Director at Pernod Ricard UK, comments: “We know that when different people collaborate, we can create incredible experiences and as the nation gets ready to come together again, we’re hosting one final digital celebration to help consumers do just that. Because Absolut believes in the power of community, we’re inviting everyone to join in the fun and connect with others wherever they are. The Absolut #TogetherIRL event is set to be a night to remember and a great way to celebrate the start of summer, because nothing beats being together in real-life.”
Absolut is growing +43.5% in value, more than twice the rate of total category growth[1]. To coincide with the event, the brand is running a second burst of above-the-line media that will reinforce ‘nothing beats #TogetherIRL’ on video-on-demand, YouTube, social and out-of-home.
