Here are a few of the activities they have for the market
GANADO SA BUHAY THEMATIC CAMPAIGN
Ginebra San Miguel is going through some interesting changes. After years of championing the hardworking Filipino working class, Their brand of gin, which stands for The Filipino Fighting Spirit or “Ganado” will be talking to a younger market with its activations. This is to solidify their positioning for their future “Ganado” Filipinos.
In the past year, Ginebra created ads that showed a father passing the baton to his son who was looking for a job and keeping his spirits high amidst the disappointing reality of rejection. This year, they take on another journey with theirr market as they highlight a special segment in society, the Young Filipino OFW and his family. Ginebra’s next TVC will showcase a story of a son and his father as they go through the real life drama that families encounter when someone is leaving. No matter how good the opportunity is, family members will still be affected when someone leaves. This became Ginebra’s inspiration in kicking off Their advertising campaign for 2016. Their TVC called “Sepanx” or Separation Anxiety will surely melt your hearts and spark the flame of being “Ganado sa Buhay” anywhere you may be in the world. Ginebra San Miguel plays an integral role in the “Ganado” life of our core market.
GIN NATION CARAVAN
The “Ganado” spirit, which the brand espouses, will be pushed to a more elevated experience, breathing new life to the brand. The Caravan aims to introduce new ways Ginebra San Miguel can be consumed. The Caravan will be participating in different food festivals and University activities. The Gin Nation Roving Caravan is changing the way people drink Ginebra San Miguel from the ground up, one location at a time. They want to introduce Ginebra San Miguel to more and more Filipinos of all sectors, age and demographic.The Caravan will also be partnering with the the metro’s hottest events and destinations like Mercato Centrale, Maginhawa Food Street, school events and concerts. To make the party more fun, Ginebra also formulated 5 mixes that everyone can enjoy: Manila Sunrise, Blue Fizz, Mojito Slush, Sweet Lemony Martini and All Nighter. Aside from these mixes the Caravan also want to complete our total drinking experience by adding acoustic performers that will give entertainment to the Market.

The Gin Cart is Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin’s take on Ginebra San Miguel’s Gin Nation Roving Caravan. Ginebra believes that the premium drinks vehicle showcases our brand’s elevated design aesthetic and readiness for a new, upscale market.
Much thought and consideration were put into designing the Premium Gin cart. For materials, they chose wood and black metal in order to give the cart a rustic, local feel. In terms of the actual wood design, it was crucial for them to showcase the iconic Ginebra San Miguel logo, which is actually one of Fernando Amorsolo’s earliest recognized works.
For the drinks to be offered in the Premium Gin cart, Ginebra decided on a mix of both artisanal and experimental cocktails. To keep things fresh and innovative, unexpected ingredients will be part and parcel of the cocktail recipes, including items like bacon and tomato juice.
The Premium Gin Cart will make its public debut in the 2016 edition of Art Fair Philippines on February 19 and 20 at The Link, Makati City.
With all the exciting event and activities Ginebra had in stored for the market, It would be safe to say that this coming months will be for the Gin Lovers and people who still haven’t discover the beauty of GInebra San Miguel Gins.
