Ad of the month UK – Fever-Tree
Fever-Tree wins the UK’s Ad of the Month accolade for June. According to data from YouGov BrandIndex, the company’s Ad Awareness metric – a score that tracks how many people have seen a brand’s advertisement in a particular region over a specific period – has seen the highest rise of any brand in the country. This score rose to 11% on June 24 from 8% on May 25.
From taking up residency at events to organising workshops, Fever-Tree has managed to get the attention of consumers throughout the months of May and June. The brand is running a £2m multi-channel campaign alongside Smirnoff No.21 this summer to persuade UK consumers to “Spritz Up” their drinks.
Fever-Tree also announced its comeback to bars at the Kia Oval cricket ground where it will serve drinks from June to September at the one-day Internationals, test matches, T20s and The Hundreds.
The return of the brand’s three-year old partnership with The Gin To My Tonic - a roadshow organised for gin enthusiasts, was also announced early in June. The show is known for its cocktail-making masterclasses, blind taste challenges, presentations from distilleries, tonic and garnish tutorials and theatrical bartender performances. On June 3, Fever-Tree also announced a virtual masterclass to celebrate World Gin Day.
The brand promoted events and workshops on its social media pages and the campaigns seem to have paid off. Ad Awareness for Fever-Tree was around 8% on May 25 and saw a gradual rise that reached 13% by June 12. After this, the score slid slightly to settle at 11% by June 24.
The brand’s Buzz metric – a net score derived from whether consumers have heard something positive or negative about a brand over the past two weeks - also climbed to 7.9 points on June 20 from 6.5 points on June 1. Consideration, which indicates how likely consumers are to consider purchasing a brand, also bounced back to 22 points on June 24 after seeing a slump of 20 points around mid-June. Data also shows that Fever-Tree's Satisfaction score rose from 21 points to 23 points between June 1 to June 24.
