Wild Turkey Bourbon

Unleashing the wild onto the UKs biggest chopper motorcycle festival

Loved for their bold bourbon and great spirit, Wild Turkey wanted to create brand awareness for their premium bourbon with spirit drinkers via an authentic and activated community.

 We came on board to help and identified the largest chopper motorcycle festival in the UK, fittingly named the 101 Run (a nod to Wild Turkey’s ‘101’ Bourbon!). In collaboration with DICE magazine, the 101 Run is held annually at Dreamland in Margate. We successfully negotiated for the brand to become the official spirits sponsor of this exciting festival.

The brand was a natural fit for sponsoring the pre and after show parties, supporting local venues and giving attendees the perfect opportunity to sample this exceptional bourbon. Partnering with the 101 Run gave genuine, collaborative content opportunities across social media showcasing the brand prominently throughout the weekend (and beyond). Visitors had the chance to sample Wild Turkey at venues around the town – Picklebacks at Palm Pizzeria, Old Fashioneds at The Albion Rooms and Wild Turkey Iced Teas at Black Axe Throwing Co.  

The outcome included widespread shared content across social media, as well as exposure on DICE, 101, and Dreamland websites and newsletters. DICE-owned shoots were distributed across their social accounts. The 101 Run drove significant impact for the brand by engaging attendees and leveraging powerful partnerships with the key collaborators.
