About Baileys

Baileys® liqueur launched in Ireland in 1974. Now the cream liqueur can be found across 180 markets worldwide and is the number one selling liqueur in the world.

Insight

During December, we treat ourselves and take time to create even though it is the most hectic period of the year. The fact that Baileys was not a natural part of these festive baking activities was a mystery for us, and something we wanted to change.

Solution

To make Baileys a given part of these festive baking activities during December, we felt it was time to put Baileys in the centre of these activities. Our idea? We opened up a magical Christmas Baileys Bakery.

Execution

We partnered up with Tea Malmegård, one of Sweden’s top confectioners. During a weekend in December, we created a creative getaway where people could enjoy and spend time together during two hours baking class with Baileys as the hero ingredient.

Results

The campaign was a huge success with a total reach of over 9 500 000 in Sweden and Norway. From the media and influencer event with 20 people attending, we had over 70 Instagram stories. The classes were fully booked and the feedback from the participants was very positive!

About Baileys

Baileys^® liqueur launched in (city) Ireland in 1974. Now the cream liqueur can be found across 180 markets worldwide and is the number one selling liqueur in the world.

Background

Our mission was to position Baileys as a post-dinner treat around the Christmas season, as well as attracting a young and urban target group.

Insight

We wanted to make Baileys a part of the Swedish Christmas tradition, and what’s more a traditionally Swedish than the Swedish julbord? We wanted to challenge this old tradition and re-invent it for the modern day. We wanted to make it smooth, efficient and tasty, just like Baileys.

Solution

We created a pop-up julbord with the full experience in only 30 minutes. We decided to name it just that; Ca30. We teamed up with top chef Daniel Guest at the Miss Clara restaurant to recreate the full julbords experience in only 5 small dishes. The desert? Baileys served in a cookie cup made by the highly acclaimed pastry chefs at Tösses.

To create a buzz for our restaurant, we spread the news through Miss Clara’s social channels. We also invited both press and influencers to try our julebord. Members of the public were then welcome to book in a 30 minute slot to enjoy for themselves.

Results

The campaign was a huge success with a total reach of over 4 245 483 in Sweden and Norway.

Insight

In the spring of 2017, Baileys launched Baileys Iced Coffee Latte – a pre-mixed coffee drink to enjoy with friends on a sunny afternoon or as dessert after dinner. To make Baileys Iced Coffee Latte become the drink of the summer across Scandinavia, we knew we had to speak to the younger generation. We had to kick the notion that Baileys was a drink for older women and invite the hipper crowds to fall in love with the delicious drink.

Solution

To make Baileys more appealing for a younger and more aware target group, we felt it was time to combine Baileys with something new. Our idea? Combing Baileys with iced coffee and make it the drink of the summer.

Execution

We partnered up with a small coffee roastery, ‘It’s Cold Brew’, who produce their own cold brew coffee. Founded by coffee expert Aadel Kersh, music artist Fiona Fitzpatrick and producer Stefan Axel Foley, we knew they’d be the perfect partners for the job. We launched three pop-up breweries across Scandinavia, one in Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen, running throughout the summer. The ‘Co-Lab’ pop-up served delicious iced coffee drinks and offered ‘Brew It Yourself’ courses to learn how to make the drink at home.

Results

The campaign was a huge success with a total reach of over 23 500 000 in the Nordics. Through the pop-up brewery and the delicious drink recipes of Baileys and cold brew coffee, we succeeded in making iced coffee drinks the drink of the summer for a younger and trendier consumer across the Nordics! Also in Sweden, the Baileys Iced Coffee Latte product reached the shelves of Systembolaget with over 128 local listings and 12 permanent listings from the 1st of September – only through consumer orders!
