ABSOLUT Inspire
In 1985, ABSOLUT partnered with Andy Warhol. By 2004, ABSOLUT had collaborated with more than 500 artists, on over 850 commissioned projects.
With a shift in marketing initiatives in recent years, and many competitors now clawing for this territory, ABSOLUT needed to reintroduce their deeply rooted art culture to a new generation of consumers: Millennials.

Millennials understand the power of social media. They understand its ability to transform the world around them – and they embrace it.
So, how did we introduce the next generation of ABSOLUT art to a demographic that already consumes media at unprecedented levels?
We didn’t. We gave them the tools to create it.

2 ABSOLUT ARTISTS.
1 LIVE-STREAMED EXHIBIT.
ALL INSPIRED BY THE ABSOLUT COMMUNITY
We partnered with 2 Canadian artists to broadcast their talents to the world. Over a 3-hour live-stream, they transformed comments and tweets from the ABSOLUT Facebook and Twitter communities into a fan-inspired work of art.
Leveraging uStream technology allowed us to seamlessly share the canvas with fans live on the social media channels they were already using, across any device or platform, and even on their timeline’s and Twitter feeds. By simply using the hashtag #ABSOLUTinspire fans were able to chime in with inspiration, and watch our artists take it from comment to canvas.
No sign up. No apps. No barriers.
The Results
ABSOLUT garnered 1.4 million impressions across all social channels during the 3-hour live-stream, and a total of 2.3 million impressions throughout the day
The average viewer watched for 80 minutes, shattering expectations and uStream metrics.
