When Día de los Muertos met social storytelling.

A campaign built for flavour, ritual and visual impact.

Experience Snapshot

Experience Snapshot

We partnered with Espolón Tequila → to create a paid digital campaign centred on Día de los Muertos.

The focus: an edible cocktail built from rich Mexican ingredients that would spark PR, social engagement and cultural connection.

In just one week, we concepted, styled and rolled out a Halloween campaign that transformed cocktail creation into visual theatre. With ingredients like dried marigold, roasted sweet potato, chipotle syrup and Pan de Muertos, the piece gained immediate media attention and audience traction.

The brief

Espolón Tequila needed a campaign that felt rich in story, bold in visuals and rooted in Mexican tradition. The goal was to bring Día de los Muertos to life through an expressive, drink-led experience that could perform across both media and paid social.
