The Original Peanut Butter Whiskey
Client
Skrewball Whiskey
Overview
Skrewball Peanut Butter whiskey was a two-month-old brand when it retained Crowe PR to drive brand awareness and help create a new category of whiskey, appealing to the female consumer. The company had limited brand recognition and was available in under 100 locations in one market at the time. The family-run business was looking to gain popularity fast and expand into new markets ahead of potential competitors. Within six months of campaign kick-off, Skrewball appeared in 44 articles, leading to a major distribution deal. Today, Skrewball is a household brand and continues to be the fastest growing spirits brand in the U.S. and parts of Canada.
