Inspiration

Perfecting the art of the bar cart with Diageo

Diageo wanted to inspire consumers 18+ to mix cocktails with confidence and give them the inspiration and tools to recreate their favourite mixed drinks at home.

The big idea

Music and cocktails go together like a dry martini and olives. That was the inspiration behind Diageo’s Art of the Bar Cart campaign on Spotify, which aimed to reach Gen Z and millennial listeners in Australia.

By leveraging Spotify's connection to all things audio and music, Spotify and Diageo created a custom online destination showcasing an array of Australian artists making their favourite cocktails using spirits from Diageo’s iconic portfolio. Each artist also curated a playlist tailored to their favourite mixed drink, housed on a custom Art of the Bar Cart Spotify hub.

At Spotify, we’re uniquely positioned to understand the context of our listeners, thanks to our logged-in, deeply engaged audience. People listen to Spotify across devices in their homes. So it was a natural fit for Spotify to show people 18+ how to create mixed drinks and drive awareness of Diageo—no professional bartending skills required.

So, how’d the campaign shake out?
