Introducing their new brand platform 'It’s In Our Spirit' Absolut has launched a major new global campaign that looks forward to a time when being #togetherIRL is safe again and reminds Gen Z and millennials that no matter how popular you are online, nothing can replace real human connections.

The ambitious Absolut global campaign, created by BBH Singapore, features four talents of diverse backgrounds who all champion open and honest conversation: Tessa Thompson, American actress, MNEK, British musician, Ricki Ortiz, online gaming star, and Jolin Tsai, Taiwanese singer. Speaking to Absolut’s truth, each of them are change-makers and outspoken representatives of their communities.

The mammoth multimedia campaign features a vast swathe of social and online content, including a two-minute film that mixes animation with live action. It’s a story of 4 protagonists who are masters of their own virtual worlds, looking for something more meaningful outside. So they decide to break out from virtuality - because no matter how many followers or hearts you collect, nothing can make up for real-life togetherness.
