1800 Tequila (Spec)

1800 Tequila’s positioning is Change The Game. “1800 Spy” is an interactive narrative that changes the way we think of a very specific type of game: the spy game.

To help 1800 Tequila build upon its current consumer base—and further connect with those who are already loyal to the brand—we could create an interactive cat-and-mouse spy game in which people would not only have the chance to win a great prize (a new BMW, for example) but also have a fun, interactive experience with the 1800 brand.

This type of gameplay not only plays off of 1800's tagline, but it also complements the brand's positioning/target market. Based on their advertising, it's clear they're going after a young male demographic.
