Tio Pepe: YouTube Creators Spark Engagement Through Authentic Tasting Experiences

Tio Pepe leveraged trusted UK creators like Jim Chapman and Leyla Kazim to drive brand awareness among 25-34 year olds.

Vertical stories and grid posts featuring first-taste reactions, tonic serves, and cocktail ideas helped cut through audience barriers while maintaining ASA compliance. The strategy achieved efficient reach and cost-effective scaling, resulting in strong new-to-brand interest and measurable brand lift. The campaign demonstrated how authentic, creator-led content can effectively drive social media engagement and brand consideration.
