In anticipation of Negroni Week, 1800 Tequila is targeting gin drinkers with a new agave spirits-focused “Newgroni” marketing campaign.
The Negroni — particularly, the TikTok famous Negroni Sbagliato — was launched to viral stardom last year following an off-handed comment from ‘House of the Dragon’ Star Emma D’Arcy. Combined with the trending resurgence of Campari and Aperol, bright-red Negronis have suddenly taken hold of craft cocktail bars, speakeasies and Instagram feeds worldwide.
Capitalizing on the zeitgeist, 1800 Tequila has partnered with creative agency AnalogFolk Australia to shake up the narrative.
“Tequila has long been typecast as the base of a margarita, but with the Newgroni, we’re presenting it as a spirit that can both command and complement complex flavors, and delivering it to the world in a bold new way,” said Matt Robinson, CEO of AnalogFolk Australia.
“The Newgroni campaign allows us to engage in an experiential way with premium spirits drinkers. It’s about showing that tequila can be part of a sophisticated, modern cocktail culture, and we are excited to see the public’s reaction during Negroni Week.”

The muli-platform campaign will feature a competition offering consumers bespoke cocktail sets complete with tequila, upcycled glasses and vermouth.
