BRIEF

Beyond were engaged to secure a high profile talent to become Martini’s new brand ambassador and launch their summer serve the ‘Martini Spritz’.

BEYOND VALUE

The brand were looking for a name with mass appeal in the UK but with tangible Italian links. Beyond were able to use our relationships to uncover unknown intel, for example Jonathan has a huge love for Italy, with an Italian bolt hole and holidays there annually. Also, we knew that by the time the campaign launched Jonathan would be having a huge moment tying into the brands ambition to be the drink of the summer.
