Archibald and Cidrerie Lacroix renew their partnership with Dreww for 2022

Montreal, January 24th 2022 – Archibald Microbrasserie and Cidrerie Lacroix, two leaders of Quebec alcoholic beverage industry are renewing their partnership with Dreww for 2022. 

The collaboration between Dreww and Archibald and Cidrerie Lacroix is not new. The marketing director of both brands, Etienne Dancosse, has worked with the team of digital natives for several years on numerous projects for Cidrerie Lacroix. Last year, Archibald’s team decided to entrust Dreww with the management of Archibald Microbrasserie’s digital advertising initiatives.

“In 2021, Archibald and Cidrerie Lacroix were able to shine online thanks to the advertising initiatives we ran in with Dreww. Influence campaigns, photo productions, social media management… Through all these projects, Dreww was able to target the needs of both brands, while optimizing their digital presence. It was only natural to continue our collaboration.” Étienne Dancosse, Marketing Director for Archibald and Cidrerie Lacroix. 

In 2022, Dreww’s mandate will be to increase awareness of both brands, while driving market share growth by leveraging their various social media platforms, buying all of their digital ads and producing photos, commercials, and short-form viral videos for Reels and Tiktok. 

Short-form videos such as Tiktoks or Reels are currently dominating the digital scene, and have been for more than two years. These innovative and fast-growing platforms need to be added to brands’ marketing strategies. That’s why Dreww has built a team of TikTok and Reels specialists who are dedicated to feeding Archibald’s and Cidrerie Lacroix’s Instagram and TikTok with short-form videos. Etienne has understood the advertising potential of these two brand new platforms and is embracing this new trend by giving Dreww leeway to exploit them.

“2022 is the year of short-form videos. TikTok is today the world’s most downloaded app. It has taken the world by storm, and people are noticing. This has caused Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, to announce that moving forward Instagram will become predominantly a short-form video application, rather than a photo-sharing app. If brands want to be seen on Instagram in the coming months and years, they must embrace this new trend. Etienne has entrusted us to do exactly this for Archibald Microbrasserie and Cidrerie Lacroix and I am very proud that Dreww is at the forefront of these changes.” Andrew Johnson, Founder, CEO of Dreww.
