Story Jack Daniel's global ad campaign spans both borders and demographics. Depending on the audience, publication and brand development within a country, the ads focus on either the heritage, quality story or Jack Daniel's drinkers' world or some combination of these messages.
Philosophy Utilizing our proprietary Brand Essence planning process, Arnold Worldwide--St. Louis identified a common positioning strategy--based on brand quality, masculinity and authenticity--which connected with consumers of all ages and nationalities. We crafted a "toolbox" of print, out-of-home, radio and TV advertising which can be selected and implemented based on local needs.

Results: Since we began working for the brand, Jack Daniel's has grown to be the #1 American whiskey in the world in volume, sales and awareness. Growth in the US has reignited as brand sales continue to outpace the category.
Problem The challenge was to keep a 136 year old brand relevant to a diverse target audience around the world. Consumers in some countries were discovering Jack Daniel's for the first time while drinkers in the US--long familiar with the brand--were being lured away by "White Goods" such as vodka and tequila.
