Grey Goose shakes up a storm in trendy Toronto

Grey Goose vodka’s Winter Wonderland took over Toronto Pearson Airport Terminal 3 during the New Year holiday period, shaking up a storm in a snow-globe.

In the first of its kind at the airport, located in one of the world's trendiest destinations, Bacardi invited travellers to step inside a giant snow-globe. They were given a selfie opportunity to share the fun with friends, via instant printing into a seasonal greetings card or to share digitally as an animated gif.

Strong visual impact

Cocktail sampling of Grey Goose Le Fizz at the Alpine chalet-themed bar delivered a double-digit conversion uplift in sales of the Grey Goose range versus the same period in 2016. The campaign reached more than 340,000 travellers, delivered over 100,000 Snapchat impressions via a personalised Snapchat filter, sampled over 15,000 Le Fizz cocktails, with almost 5,000 selfies taken via Sharingbox.

Geoff Biggs, Regional Director Americas, Bacardi Global Travel Retail, said: “We’re really pleased with the results from Toronto Pearson Airport; we set the bar high, challenging ourselves to create something to go beyond brilliant engagement and entertainment for travellers that would drive a noticeable upturn in conversion. The strong visual impact of the Grey Goose Winter Wonderland caught people’s eye to come and explore the distinct seasonal atmosphere, enjoy a cocktail in the Alpine bar and create their own photo moment in the snow-globe."
