The Bottle-O and its media agency, Starcom, have partnered with Concrete Playground to help young Aussies plan their Easter getaways.
The Bottle-O Easter road trip content series includes editorial about camping hacks and the best campsites in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, as voted by Concrete Playground readers. There will also be articles on popular retro-inspired motels.
Australian Liquor Marketers (ALM) senior marketing manager, Clare Adamiak, said: “This is a great partnership for us with Concrete Playground. We have a large regional base across our retail network and through this platform we are able to showcase these great locations, but also reach our metro and regional shoppers by tapping into what Aussies do best – travelling across our great country and enjoying themselves. Easter is one of our largest, key selling periods and it’s important for us to partner with the right platforms and where our shoppers are.”
Starcom client services director, Jacqui Purcell said: “We know in the current economic climate, that people are looking for a long weekend getaway that doesn’t break the bank. The Bottle-O stands for ‘Good Value’, with our goal of making the shopping experience easy and fun. This content partnership allows us to bring the brand proposition to life, inspiring consumers with ways to create a ‘Good Value’ weekend.”
“Encouraging readers to elevate their play is at the heart of Concrete Playground’s mission, and we’ve spent over a decade inspiring them to eat, drink and explore in their own backyards,” said Tahlia Phillips, Concrete Playground General Manager. “We’re excited to partner with ALM at one of the busiest times of the year to connect Australians with unique domestic travel experiences that they can have with a cold one in hand.” Concrete Playground is an independent digital publisher that operates city guide websites in seven cities across Australia and New Zealand.
The Bottle-O’s Easter campaign also includes regional TV, national BVOD and social activity.
