The Imperative for Change

The brand was perceived as a party prop—a shot to take when celebrating. To change this reputation and broaden the appeal, we needed to get to know consumers better, so together we could properly celebrate the product’s fine craftsmanship and versatility.

The Transformative Solution

Our solution was to integrate Patrón into our customers’ cocktail lifestyle. We gathered recipes from bartenders across the globe, giving them a personal stake in recommending the brand. And we featured them in the experience to give it a more humanized, craft-oriented feel. Wherever you are on any device, Patrón Cocktail Lab serves up increasingly curated recipes based on personal customer preferences, behavioral insights, local trends and occasions so Patrón is always top of mind as a choice that’s as personalized as it is accessible.

Tailored suggestions

As consumers define their preferences, they're served a curated list of drinks.
