After wining a competitive pitch, Draftfcb in Madrid developed a new and "unusual" ATL campaign for Hendrick's Gin. The whimsical print ad, "The Unusual Way", reflects the curious character of a gin that boasts a peculiar botanical blend of flowers, roots, fruits and seeds from around the world.The concept uses the infamous MAD Magazine fold-in format popularised by legendary cartoonist Al Jaffee to create a game which illustrates Hendricks' dominant flavour profile: the infusion duo of rose petal and cucumber. The jovial drawings of dancing couples, top hat toting bartenders, juniper hot air balloons and cucumber blimps evoke the quirky, experimental and adventurous character of the Victorian age, when gin first came into fashion.
