WHAT the PEOPLE WANT

As the face of America changes, Smirnoff is celebrating by issuing a unifying rallying cry through the launch of Vodka for the People, a campaign that highlights inclusivity and moments that bring people together. At its core, Vodka for the People highlights Smirnoff’s dedication to elevating the cultural conversation about how amazing things can happen when everyone's invited to the party. “We thought it was only fitting that our Vodka for the People campaign be just as versatile and flavorful as our Smirnoff portfolio," said Jennifer Holiday Hudson, Smirnoff North America brand leader, in a statement. “The future belongs to the people, and with Vodka for the People, we want to find opportunities to invite our drinkers to tell us what they're looking for next. Whether it's the delicious cocktails they can't wait to try, organizations they'd like us to support or being a part of a neighborhood get-together, we want to give the people what they want.” As part of the new campaign, the world's No. 1 vodka has enlisted a star-studded roster of talent, including actor and producer Kaley Cuoco, and comedian, actor and game show host Anthony Anderson, who both share Smirnoff's ethos that welcoming everyone leads to the best times.

evian water and Rothy's partnered to repurpose evian water bottles collected from the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament into a limited-edition, tennis-inspired capsule collection created by Rothy's. With a shared mission to keep plastic waste in the economy and out of nature, evian and Rothy's will transform evian bottles collected between Aug. 30 and Sept. 12 from the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament, into a first-of-its-kind capsule collection that will debut in September 2022. Their goal is to give the evian bottles collected from the event a chic second life as part of a capsule collection of courtside essentials, made using Rothy's low waste, circular-focused manufacturing method, the companies say. The collected evian bottles will be blended with other recycled plastic bottles and then transformed into soft, washable thread, which Rothy's will use to knit each item in the capsule collection to shape — leaving minimal waste behind, they note. The design team is exploring everything from headwear to tennis bags, potentially testing into new categories for the brand.

Mast-Jägermeister US premiered its short film “Night Lights” starring global music superstar Post Malone and shot by Academy Award-nominated director Zachary Heinzerling (“Cutie and the Boxer”). “Night Lights” is Post Malone's tribute to the local businesses and communities impacted over the past year, in support of Jägermeister's global hashtag #SAVETHENIGHT campaign to help bring life back to nightlife. Additionally, limited-edition #SAVETHENIGHT bottles were available for purchase in select stores worldwide in September with a portion of proceeds from U.S. sales benefiting NIVA (National Independent Venue Association), and a portion of proceeds from global sales going directly back to artists via Jägermeister's Meister Fund ― a financial support system for artists and creatives from the #SAVETHENIGHT Meister network. The innovatively designed bottle changes color when frozen at -18 degrees Celsius. Supporting Post Malone's efforts to raise up communities and artists, Jägermeister also is a sponsor of Posty Fest taking place Oct. 30-31 outside of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
