Wray + Nephew
Our Spirit

Wray & Nephew Overproof White Rum is more than just a drink in its home country of Jamaica, it’s a national institution, woven into the fabric of Jamaican society and culture. Briefed to reposition the brand with an undiluted message that celebrates the spirit of everyday Jamaicans we created a multi-channel campaign called ‘Our Spirit’.

Film assets, directed by Michael Lawrence, feature real Jamaican characters to create an authentic narrative that pictures the occasions that fuse Wray & Nephew with life on the island. The campaign launched with a 60 second brand film and builds later in the year with an Olympic edit and alternate cuts.

Through social media, consumers were invited to write their own interpretation of Jamaican spirit to create shareable branded assets that built out the inclusive approach of the campaign.
