EFFEN® Vodka Inspires Consumers To Be Proudly 'Different by Design' With New Campaign

As part of the campaign's launch, EFFEN is proud to support Pride month and LGBTQ equality with the release of the brand's first, limited-edition Pride bottle throughout June. For every limited-edition Pride Bottle made, Beam Suntory donated $1 to Outfest, an organization that promotes LGBTQ Equality by creating, sharing and protecting LGBTQ stories on the screen. The EFFEN Pride bottle is available in more than 30 markets nationwide for a suggested retail price of $21.99/750mL.

"Different by Design aims to honor and support our consumers and what's important to them in today's world," said Stephanie Kang, Marketing Director for EFFEN Vodka. "A unique point of view and fearless, honest self-expression are some of the most powerful tools available to every person, and EFFEN is proud to champion those who embrace that spirit."

EFFEN Vodka is a super-premium vodka that continues to push boundaries. From its unique distillation and filtration processes, to its distinct bottle design and core values of acceptance and creativity, the brand creates a vodka that delivers superior quality, six versatile flavors and a modern design that is "Different by Design". The launch of the new campaign illustrates EFFEN's ongoing commitment to foster a more expressive and inclusive tomorrow.

"The LGBTQ community has always pushed the boundaries of convention. Outfest embraces that heritage and works to assure the stories that reflect our unique experience are seen and heard," said Christopher Racster, Executive Director for Outfest. "We are incredibly proud to partner with a company that also pushes boundaries and takes creativity, difference and self-expression to heart."

The "Different by Design" platform will inspire future flavor innovations and experiences in 2018 and beyond. It will also be reinforced through integrated marketing efforts, including print, social, digital and public relations support, in addition to collaborations with creative partners.
