Jameson Irish Whiskey, which is produced by Irish Distillers in Midleton Distillery, has unveiled the next instalment of its successful advertising platform, ‘Taste, That’s Why’. The new campaign, titled ‘The Bartenders’ Gathering’, launches across television, digital and social media in Germany from April 2019, ahead of a wider global roll-out later this year.Set in modern Dublin in 2016, the commercial tells the true story of the 200 bartenders from around the world that gather in Dublin each year for the Jameson Bartenders’ Gathering; a three-day immersive and educational summit for bartenders to hone their skills, learn about Jameson and the history of Irish whiskey, and explore the rich culture of modern Ireland. This commercial retraces the memorable experiences that the group had and the connections they made, with an unexpected twist in the story.Jameson invited 50 real bartenders from Ireland and around the world to star in the film to add authenticity to the creative. The TV spot is supported by an integrated social campaign that tells documentary-style true stories of the three bartenders who stayed behind and also delves further into stories of bartenders from places such as Spain, Germany and South Africa.CreditsClient: JamesonInternational Marketing Director, Jameson: Simon FayGlobal Planning & Communications Director, Jameson: Fiona CurtinMarketing Manager, Jameson: Sharon DunneCreative Agency: TBWA\DublinExecutive Creative Director: John KaneCreatives: Paul Arthurs and Dave CowzerHead of Digital Creative: Geoff BarkerAgency Producer: Onagh Carolyn/ Kate McEvoyAssistant Producers: Ana Baena Sanchez and Sarah CollinsChief Strategy Officer: Mark NolanPlanner: Aleesha TullyCEO: Deidre WaldronHead of Account Management: Paula KellyAccount Director: Rebecca Clarke/ Hugh DoddySenior Account Manager: Aoife McCarthy/ Amy SatelleSocial Media & Content Specialist: Tomas McCabeProduction Company: Stink Films LondonDirector: Anthony MandlerProducer: Ben CrokerExecutive Producer: Blake PowellService Company: Sweet MediaDOP: Max GoldmanProduction Services: Screen SceneProduction Designer: Derek WallaceEditor: James Forbes-RobertsonColourist: Tom PooleAudio Post: Mutiny DublinMusic Clearance: Symphonic MusicMusic: John Walsh, Symphonic Music
