Canada Dry Ginger Ale: Relax Harder From That 4 -Letter Word- Busy

Canada Dry, encourages its fans to move past their busy work and social schedules to maximize their relaxation.  "We built this campaign based on our research that showed us that people aren't prioritizing what matters most to them because they are plagued with being 'too busy'," said Chanda Ridley, Director of Marketing and Content for Canada Dry.

To do this, the brand teamed up with linguist and language creator, David J. Peterson, to further understand how the word busy has evolved and why society uses busy as a badge of honor – also known as "busy-bragging."  "Today, we use busy to describe going to the beach or working late – positively and negatively. Through research, we identified different types of busy and created a new language to better define what type of busy we are, at any given moment, and to make people aware of what is occupying their time," said Peterson.

To illustrate the impact busyness has on our lives today, Canada Dry created a video where friends and family discuss busy with both positive and negative concepts such as "success", "winning" and "I don't have time to connect with you" showing the polarizing effect of the 4-letter word busy. 

What kind of "busy" are you? Canada Dry and Peterson developed a quiz to help answer that question and inspire a positive change in routine by encouraging consumers to "unbusy" themselves and be mindful of the tasks that get in the way of enjoying the things that matter most.
