During the holidays consumers are time strapped and rushed, which often leads to panic purchasing over-the-top or barely-enough gifts. And with 64% of households already purchasing alcohol during the holiday season, we showed them that they can gift better and more conveniently by ordering Diageo on DoorDash.

Goals

 Drive incremental sales of Diageo products

Idea

Diageo partnered with DoorDash to create a series of engaging videos and clips that called out "bad gifting behaviors" and offered Diageo spirits ordered through DoorDash as the one gift everyone really wants (and deserves) this holiday season.
