The alcoholic beverage industry in India is unique in that it is a dark market, so Alco-Bev brands are not permitted to directly advertise to consumers. Additionally, post-pandemic, Indian consumers have widely adopted a digital way of life, so promotional dollars have subsequently shifted to a more technology-oriented approach.

With the direct advertising restrictions in mind, we are looking for a 360-degree promotional activation to reach our consumers in the Indian market. A 360-approach should be a full-circle, interactive and engaging journey to increase brand loyalty and provide a rich customer experience. 

Examples of components might be a gamification piece, augmented reality, a unique rewards program, chatbot, AI, on-premise flyers and posters, a QR code on the bottle or package that leads to a social media page, etc. that interact with each other to create a brand journey.

Deliverables
  1. Propose a 360-degree, cross-channel campaign that will promote engagement and brand loyalty among consumers for an Alco-Bev brand in India.
    1. Ideally, this would incorporate some sort of unique rewards system to compel customers to interact with our brand.
    2. Cross-channel could include social media, OTT and mobile networks, off-premise (in-person store purchases), packaging, etc.
  2. Specifically, how will consumers engage with your proposed idea?
    1. Imagine the customer journey from first becoming aware of a brand all the way through to a purchase, and thereafter. 
    2. What are the steps or actions a customer might take to engage with the different pieces of your proposal?
    3. How will rewards accumulate and be redeemed? What might the rewards consist of?
  3. (Optional) If it will strengthen your submission, feel free to attach an artistic rendering (sketch, mockup, design, etc.) of your idea(s) and how a consumer might interact with it.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Indian age restrictions on alcohol purchases are 21+ and 25+
  • A rewards system should be chance-based and interactive.
  • Technology choice should not ask consumers to download an exclusive app for a richer experience.
  • Bear in mind that a trade / an off-premises outlet where users go and buy alcohol is not equipped with a modern tech stack including Wi-Fi. We invite solutions to be mobile-centric that the consumer holds. For promotions, posters/flyers placements are available.
