In the “Damn Right, Your Dad Drank It” Campaign, Canadian Club has promoted the whisky as the preferred drink to the consumers’ fathers. This promotion can spark a new interest in people seek a similar image of old-time class (Kent, A, 2011). With television shows like Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men (both of which have promoted Canadian Club), past era themes are at the height of their popularity. Recommendations Canadian Club is on the right track with their recent work, highlighting their history. In addition to this, Canadian Club has also had the world’s longest running international advertising campaign (“The Adventure Series”) as well as the world’s longest running promotion (“Hide-A-Case”), which make their marketing efforts unique to their competitors (Canadian Club, 2011). Canadian Club is beginning to see a comeback as a result of their sponsorship with motorsport events and illuminating their history as the whisky of choice in the 1920’s (Canadian Club, 2011). Jack Daniels gained popularity after it became the drink of choice by the men of HBO’s Entourage, a show that depicts the glamourous lives of current celebrities. Whiskies like Jack Daniels and Jameson have been successful with marketing their brands as the “cool” whiskies. This gives the impression that it is of poor quality, which is damaging to the brand. Canadian Club is of high quality, yet their prices are set low. What sets Canadian Club apart from its competitors, however, is the price.
