As a summertime institution in the UK, Pimm’s wanted to drive saliency and connect the spirit with Australian consumers.



Brief.
Example were tasked with targeting 22+ year-olds, encouraging them to order and purchase Pimm’s, and making “Pimm’s O’Clock” the catch-cry of summertime in Sydney.
Solution.
To kick off the campaign, Example distributed Pimm’s summer packs and held a start of summer launch event at Coogee Pavilion for 30 media and influencers. The exclusive launch event saw The Glasshouse at Coogee Pavilion transform into a Pimm’s haven, immersing guests in the colours, flavours and scents of summer.
Following the event, a ‘Summer Study’ research piece was distributed to target media, accompanied by a Pimm’s summer events calendar for each of Australia’s capital cities.
This was supported by a paid media partnership with Concrete Playground, as well as a paid influencer campaign in partnership with VAMP which saw 24 content creators capture and share their own Pimm’s-themed summertime moments.
