To celebrate Halloween, Baileys featured three of the UK’s most popular drag queens, Tia Kofi, Veronica Green and Asia Thorne, in its global Witches campaign. The 20-second advert saw three witches come together to make a deliciously wicked Baileys S’Mores martini cocktail when their plans are thwarted by the weather.
Designed to propel the famous Irish liqueur in the adult treating space, Witches was a celebration of how everyone loves to treat - it spans generations, genders, ethnicities, and sexualities and brings people together.
During the development of the campaign, the Baileys team partnered with Diageo’s LGBTQ+ employee group, the Rainbow Network, and INvolve, a global consultancy championing diversity and inclusion in businesses, to ensure the advert and overarching message was an authentic representation of drag, within the context of the wider LGBTQ+ community.
The Witches campaign and TV advert was live in over 10 countries around the world and in Great Britain it was recognised as The Grocer’s Top Spirits Campaign of 2021.
