Areas of Impact
One of Canada’s best-selling whisky brands, J.P. Wiser’s, wanted to inspire Canadians nationwide to put the same time and care into their friendships as they put into their whisky.
To do so, the brand established a team of agency partners from different disciplines at the onset of campaign planning, including the thread woven through the campaign planning process, their marketing testing and optimization platform Methodify. The agency team devised the idea to produce the first completely user-generated campaign for J.P. Wiser’s, offering consumers the opportunity to publicly toast their friends on billboards, radio, and social media.

Wiser’s distillery.
In fact, some of the strongest engagement rates have been of people taking pictures next to their toasts on transit shelter ads and billboards.
