SUMMARY
Crown Royal proved that an insight born of multicultural audiences has the power to move everyone.
Proving the richness found in multicultural communities has the power to connect with people more meaningfully than category cliches around celebrities, conspicuous wealth and provenance. We reached the universal through the specific. Tapping into a multicultural insight (it’s not what you have, it’s what you give), universally appealing among a broader audience. Performing exceptionally, even in mono-culture placements like Country Music television (where it returned some of the highest ROI!).
