We’d like a short (30-40 seconds), trend-led video that feels native to social channels showcasing what’s inside a Craft Gin Club box and the experience of receiving it, opening it, and enjoying one or two drinks from the box with your partner.
Please note that it's essential to have a partner to enjoy the box with as the focus of this video. The video should be light, bright and upbeat.
As part of our proposition, we encourage people to have the best time at home through aspirational content, so if you have a beautiful cocktail shaker, a cosy kitchen or living room bar area, then we’d love to see it! We want people to be dreaming of fun times at home .
Our brand is fun and showcasing your individual sense of humour is good! We have provided a script and some key messages, but please feel free to put your own authentic twist on the visuals or script so it feels natural and engaging. However, please don't mention the month or anything time/date-specific, so that we can run the creative at any time of year and it still makes sense.
Please only apply if you are age 25+ otherwise your application will be deleted. You will also need a partner to feature in the video.
Curated by our experts, our monthly surprise gin box is delivered straight to members' doors. Each one contains a 70cl bottle of craft gin from one of the best small, independent craft distillers from the UK or abroad, and an incredible array of perfectly paired mixers and snacks, including the main ingredients for two cocktails and two perfect G&Ts. There's also a glossy magazine filled with guides to gin, tips and tricks, cocktail recipes, competitions, and more.
Choose one of the following hooks to open your video. You can change the wording slightly to feel more authentic to your own voice. If you would like to get slightly creative with the shots, please do, whilst making sure you're showcasing the product, particularly the gin and cocktails, and the shared enjoyment together.

Hi there! We’re Craft Gin Club, the UK’s largest gin subscription club, and we’re super passionate about discovering the world’s best craft gins and sharing them with gin lovers across the UK.
You may have seen us on Dragons’ Den. We're the gin lovers-turned gin experts who now are proud to call ourselves the UK’s number 1 gin club!
Every month, Craft Gin Club delivers boxes to thousands of excited members across the UK. (We currently have over 100,000 members and counting.) Each Gin of the Month box contains a full-size bottle of rare or exclusive craft gin from small, independent distillers across the UK and around the world. We love supporting true artisan producers and sharing their gin-credible products with our gin-loving community.
Alongside the gin, members receive perfectly paired artisan snacks, mixers, tonics and garnishes. What’s more, our members also receive a fabulous glossy magazine packed full of distiller interviews, stories, original cocktail recipes, competitions, plus lots of other amazing content.
As well as the gin subscription service, Craft Gin Club also hosts online gin-tasting events and cocktail masterclasses, and curates a best-in-class shop offering amazing deals on carefully curated gins, spirits, cocktail ingredients and more. We're transforming people's nights in, one gin at a time!
If you love gin, spirits and cocktails just as much as we do - and want to help us introduce our fabulous gins to curious new audiences - get in touch.
Please note, we're always Craft Gin Club (not CGC).
As an alcohol brand, we have to respect the advertising standards guidelines and the community rules on various social media platforms, including: not encouraging people to drink excessively or in unwise situations; not appealing to people under 25; not implying that alcohol can improve your mood, solve your problems, or increase your physical, sexual or mental prowess, and so on.
Competitors in terms of product are mid-range and upmarket alcohol brands; alcohol retail specialists, and some smaller gin subscription clubs.
Our tone of voice is fun and light-hearted (we love a pun!) but underpinning it is our expertise. We're a true authority in the gin and spirits space - we're extremely selective about who joins our Family of Distillers - and it's important that our members trust that knowledge and credibility.
