The gap between SEM and Content Marketing is huge. Creating the right content for the right people at the right time is a huge challenge. Especially when it comes to branded video content. Drinks are extremely trend sensitive. What’s ‘in’ today will be ‘out’ tomorrow. As soon as a celebrity is seen holding a drink it won’t take long until people will start googling for the recipe. The challenge is to be able to respond quickly. ‘Drinks in Motion’ by Absolut gives the brand first-mover advantage by being able to instantly generate how-to mix drink video tutorials. As soon as a drink is mentioned in social, Absolut can show consumers how to make that drink with a branded how-to mix video tutorial uploaded to YouTube in minutes. Thirsty googlers will be looking at our content before the competition has even had the time to finish their script.
