Actor Dan Levy learns how to craft the perfect margarita in new Cointreau campaign

Want to know the secret behind creating mouthwatering margaritas? Cointreau has tapped Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy, as well as chefs Nyesha Arrington and Sohla El-Waylly, to explain how.

Since Dallas socialite Margarita Sames first created the margarita in 1948, it has become the most popular cocktail in the US, according to Cointreau.

The 173-year-old brand has enlisted award-winning actor, writer and director Dan Levy to front its campaign that shows consumers how to make the drink using its orange-flavored liqueur, with the help of celebrity chefs Nyesha Arrington and Sohla El-Waylly.

“Cointreau is the key ingredient in my favorite cocktails – an ice-cold margarita and a cosmo on the rocks in a tumbler – so when Cointreau approached me, it was kind of fated,” Levy said in a statement. “Having spent the spring shooting The Big Brunch alongside some of my culinary heroes, I needed to pull up my socks when it came to hospitality – so I chose to start this summer perfecting some cocktails to level up any gathering.”

Produced by The Foundry at DotDash Meredith and directed by Max Bartick, the video series comprises three episodes: ‘Evening Soirée,’ ‘Garden Party’ and ‘Brunch.’ In each, Arrington and El-Waylly will show viewers how they prepare their favorite variations of margaritas, with a sprinkle of lighthearted tips and tricks from Levy.

“The margarita is the number one cocktail consumed in the US and consumption peaks during summer, so our content series with Dan Levy is focused on reaching margarita drinkers as they continue to host gatherings with friends and family,” Rémy Contreau Americas’ president and chief executive Ian McLernon told The Drum. “Working with an authentic brand fan like Dan Levy is a key piece of the strategy to broaden Cointreau’s awareness and help consumers elevate these moments at home with a Cointreau cocktail.”

Beginning with the ‘Evening Soirée’ pilot episode, the series will premier on July 28 on Entertainment Weekly and Food & Wine channels, across the DotDash Meredith network and on Cointreau’s social channels. It will run through the rest of the summer. Consumers can also watch the campaign via a content hub co-created by Cointreau and Entertainment Weekly.

Hide The Pain Harold realizes cause of strained face in antacid ad

Hide the Pain Harold (aka András Arató) is using his famous face to front a new ad for Brazilian antacid brand Eno. In ‘Cara de Azia’ (‘Heartburn Face’), viewers see Arató emphasize that he always thought he had a normal face, but when it became a famous meme he desperately tried to change it to no avail. One day, on the set of a modeling shoot as his alias ‘Harold,’ Arató notices one of the technicians is making a face similar to his own due to heartburn. In a lightbulb moment, he realizes that perhaps acid reflux has been the source of his strained face all these years. The campaign was created by Publicis Leon. Creative directors Laura Azevedo and Ricardo Schreier said: “To have one of the biggest memes in the world in our campaign combines work and fun. The ’Cara de Azia’ campaign is not only a relief for Harold, but also for consumers. Talking about heartburn doesn’t have to be boring.” It’s not the first time Hide The Pain Harold has popped up in an ad. Last month, The Drum...

The emotional impact of in-game audio ads – and why should brands pay attention

For The Drum’s Deep Dive into Audio, Saraa Hassan (content strategist, AudioMob ) looks at why the emotional impact of audio ads makes them so perfect for gaming. Audio can powerfully link ideas and messages to help brands create an emotional association between the brand’s message and a feeling. The resonance that audio provides between a sound and message leaves a lasting impression and emotional bond between the hearer and the brand, as 96% of brands who use audio with their brand identity are more likely to be remembered by their audiences. Depending on how brands use audio, they can create a positive or negative brand perception. Thus, it is vital for brands who adopt a sonic brand to fully understand the best way to utilize audio to elicit positive emotional affiliation with the brand and an overall positive listening experience. Ensuring that your sonic branding hits audiences positively is key to having your brand be received well and allowing your audiences to understand ...
