Activity Description
Bacardi launched an integrated marketing campaign in 2006 advertising the Bacardi Mojito, a rum-based cocktail with mint, lime, sugar, Bacardi Rum, ice, and club soda. The campaign used television advertising, print advertising, online multi-media, sales promotions, and support media for message delivery. One of the marketing stimuli is a multi-media advertisement for the making of a Bacardi Mojito. This creative was cleverly executed for download to iPods and mp3 players.
