Case Study
Summary
Carlton Draught‟s „Drop the Bomb‟ successfully bridged the gap between the „old world‟ of traditional mainstream beers where the brand had so comfortably resided and the „new world‟ of more modern beers that were so rapidly encroaching on its space. By dropping an old „bomb‟ out of a plane at 14,000ft we took a beer with a pedigree for standing out to new heights, quite literally, and created an interactive sales promotion idea that not only captured the imagination but delivered a +19.3% year on year sales result over the promotional period with a 130% return on investment.
