We’d like a short, trend-led video that feels native to social channels showcasing what’s inside a Craft Gin Club gin taster box and the experience of receiving it, opening it, and enjoying one or two drinks from the box.
​
Please include several shots of yourself smiling with the box and/or finished drinks!
​
The video should be light, bright and upbeat, showcasing how Craft Gin Club transforms your (long, dark and cold!) nights at home this autumn and winter to be fun, social, delicious and exciting.
​
​
We will be using this footage in autumn-winter and the run-up to Christmas as we encourage people to have the best time at home through aspirational content, so if you have a beautiful cocktail shaker, a lovely cosy kitchen or living room bar area, or a fabulous autumn-winter set-up, or even a few gorgeous festive decorations, then we’d love to see it! We want people to be dreaming of warm and cosy times at home (rather than drinking outside, for example).
​
Gin is fun and showcasing your individual sense of humour is good! For example, if you feel like adding a little dance while shaking your cocktail shaker, displaying some puns or your best wordplay... we're here for it!
​
Craft Gin Club is a club - it’s sociable! So, if you’re able to show yourself sharing the drinks from the box with a partner or friend(s), even better.
​
Our members tell us that the anticipation of the box delivery is like waiting for Christmas presents to arrive at the door, so if you want to get creative with that aspect of the box delivery, we’d be thrilled to see it in a video.
​
We’ve included some key reasons for joining the Club below, but please do feel free to add any personal reasons as to why you would recommend joining Craft Gin Club - we want this to feel authentic and enthusiastic. We'd like this to be no more than 40 seconds long, and ideally closer to 30 seconds.
The taster box from Craft Gin Club contains two miniature craft gin bottles (that’s enough for two double-sized drinks) as well as a handpicked tonic and garnish to make the perfect G&T. You’ll also get all the ingredients for an easy-to-make homemade cocktail, a glossy magazine full of gin tips & cocktail recipes, plus a mouth-watering selection of snacks. (Please note: this is an introductory offer and a product that people receive for free (part from postage and packaging) when they sign up to become a member of Craft Gin Club. As a member, after their initial taster box, you receive a box every month including a full-size (70cl) bottle of rare or exclusive craft gin, plus all the other perfectly paired tonics, mixers, cocktail ingredients, garnishes and snacks that are in the taster box, plus a glossy magazine filled with gin tips , competitions, cocktail recipes and more.)
We would love you to come up with your own language for a hook or to use viral trends to interpret our message, although we've included some suggestions below:
​
We'd like to show you smiling with the taster box, then opening and/or showcasing all the ingredients inside with some finished drinks, then at the end, smiling and raising a glass to the camera, ideally with a friend or partner!

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.
