Italian liqueur Disaronno will receive its first summer marketing campaign in the UK as distributor First Drinks looks to broaden the brand’s appeal.

First Drinks will launch a GBP3m (US$4.6m) promotion for Disaronno in 2010, doubling annual media spend on the brand via a campaign entitled “Open the Possibilities”.

Rising demand for the Italian liqueur, which has a secret recipe, has prompted the advertising drive.

“This is a really exciting move for us as we have traditionally only advertised at Christmas,” said Mark Collins, senior brand manager for Disaronno at First Drinks, which is the UK distributor arm of William Grant & Sons.

An initial television campaign, beginning next month, will emphasise Disaronno’s flexibility for all drinking occasions. A second wave of adverts later in the summer months will focus on Disaronno’s potential in simple cocktails, such as Disaronno Sour, Disaronno Cranberry, Disaronno OJ and Disaronno Ginger.

“Our long-term goal is to maintain the impetus behind the brand and deliver consistent and sustainable growth,” said Collins.
