Smirnoff: Smash

Smirnoff has unveiled the brand’s first global advertising campaign in over twenty-five years. “Infamous Since 1864” is an evocative homage to the colourful 155 year history of Smirnoff and the extraordinary events that led to it becoming the World’s No. 1 Vodka1, enjoyed in more than 130 countries around the world today. Directed by Rupert Sanders, known for his award-winning commercial work and feature films such as Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell, “Infamous Since 1864” is inspired by the unconventional and often unexpected path Smirnoff has chartered. From its humble roots in Russia to being resurrected in France, making its way across Europe and being at the forefront of the cocktail revolution in the US in the 1950s, it’s a tale full of dramatic events and jeopardy. Developed in partnership with global creative agency 72andSunny, “Infamous Since 1864” debuts across Europe this week, followed by a global roll out across international markets, including: US, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Kenya. The integrated marketing campaign will be supported with broadcast, OOH, digital, social and print advertising.
