Tiger /
Chinese New Year
Our integrated campaign for Tiger Beer is now live! Chinese New Year in February ushers in the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar. The campaign uses this as a hook and challenges consumers to ‘discover the secrets of the Year of the Tiger’.
We’ve employed strategies targeting Tiger’s core audience of men aged between 18 and 34 as well as the Asian restaurant and wholesale sector, including above-the-line advertising, experiential, digital and promotional activity. The campaign is both national and regional with a programme of events taking place in Chinatowns across the UK.
In partnership with Dazed and Confused magazine, we’ve created a Tiger Beer guide to Chinese New Year showcasing the best of the UK’s Chinatowns. The guide will be published as a supplement in the magazine (out 21st Janurary) and hosted in an extended format online, with the campaign microsite – www.tigerbeer.co.uk/yearofthetiger which launched on Friday. There’s also an iPhone app available for download from the App Store that features a game based on Chinese New Year and a bar locator which uses augmented reality to guide consumers to the nearest and best Tiger Beer outlets.
Jason Wills, senior brand manager, Tiger Beer, says: “Exposure has created a campaign that embraces the Chinese Year of the Tiger and provides a platform to talk to consumers about Tiger’s heritage and authenticity. It’s a great way of getting them involved in the burgeoning contemporary Chinese cultural scene in the UK.”
