The campaign is the latest creative expression of the award-winning Dutch vodka brand, whose multigenerational heritage of expertise, innovation and commitment to doing and making things better is, well, marvelous. Showcasing Ketel One’s signature simple design sensibilities – with a touch of Dutch wit and whimsy – Drink Marvelously will debut during the 71^st Emmy Awards Season, with creative appearing at Emmy season events, on television, digital and outdoor media. Ketel One Vodka is the Official Spirits Partner of the 71^st Emmy Awards Season.

Developed in partnership with creative agency FIG, the new campaign introduces a series of whimsical, hand-drawn illustrations and animations that invite viewers into a marvelous world – one full of personality, charm and of course, delicious drinks made with Ketel One Vodka. Each piece of creative will bring to life a marvelous moment, real or imagined, creating a little bit of magic and surprise in every scene.

“Drink Marvelously is a departure from what we’re seeing elsewhere in the world of vodka right now,” says Jim Ruane, Brand Director, Ketel One. “But we’ve always viewed ourselves a little differently – our vodka is made in Schiedam, Holland, by the Nolet family, honoring a 328-year, 11-generation distilling legacy – so creating this work excites and delights us. We’re inviting people to an entirely new, marvelous world that’s actually right in front of us. We hope to create a unique sense of discovery and spark imagination instead of simply re-creating familiar occasions and experiences. But the work is truly something to be experienced rather than explained.”

Returning as the Official Spirits Partner of the 71^st Emmy Awards Season, Ketel One Family Made Vodka will be introducing the Drink Marvelously campaign by raising a cocktail to television’s finest and celebrating their extraordinary accomplishments in a spectacular year marked by increased diversity, expression and inclusivity in the industry.

Adding some delicious delight to an already exceptional evening, Ketel One tapped Diageo Reserve World Class award-winning mixologist Charles Joly to craft a cast of cocktails that illustrates Ketel One’s commitment to making every occasion a bit more marvelous. Each original serve is composed of globally-inspired ingredients, reflecting the uniqueness and diversity of the Emmy Awards honorees this year. The collection includes:

• The Marvelous Mule – An unexpected global twist to the classic ginger mule that incorporates turmeric and lemongrass
• The Dapper Dragon – A delightful sipping experience highlighted by vibrant dragon fruit, papaya nectar and cardamom-spiced coconut water
• The Moonlighter – A playful riff on the classic espresso martini with surprising notes of pineapple and banana
• The Helmsman – An alcohol-free option with papaya, coconut and tangy citrus to please any palate

The cocktail collection will be served at several notable Emmy Awards events, including the Creative Arts Governors Ball events (September 14^th and 15^th) and Governors Ball, the official post-Emmy Awards telecast party (September 22^nd).

To bring the same spectacular cocktail experience to consumers nationwide, Ketel One partnered with home delivery service Cocktail Courier to create a bespoke Emmy Awards cocktail kit, complete with everything needed to create eight Marvelous Mules to share. The bespoke cocktail kit places the magic of Charles Joly’s expertise in the hands of the home bartender, allowing consumers to Drink Marvelously like television’s finest on Emmy night. The limited-edition Ketel One x 71^st Emmy Awards Cocktail Kit is now available nationwide for purchase on www.cocktailcourier.com.

Drink Marvelously will appear for the first time as 15-second television spots during the Emmy Awards telecast in New York and Los Angeles and will be followed by a national television and digital rollout in October. Outdoor placements will run in Los Angeles surrounding the Emmy Awards Season, and then will extend into other markets including New York, Chicago, Miami and Philadelphia beginning early November.
