In just 35 days and a $150 media budget, Drew Advertising, successfully created and coordinated the communications efforts for ALAMO Beer Company’s inaugural “Siege Week” campaign. “Siege Week” an idea developed by the Drew Advertising team and coincided with the historical timeline of the actual 13 day Siege of the Alamo in 1836. The team worked closely with the client to maximize current resources and creatively integrate relationships with local bars and restaurants into the promotion. Further components included a content driven social media presence that generated an average of 14,091 impressions on Facebook for the month of February. These efforts garnered record number of shares and likes for posts.

In addition to providing the branding for the promotion, the team created press releases that were distributed to local event calendars, writers and bloggers. Furthermore, we utilized YouTube by recording videos from the owner of ALAMO Beer.

Check the videos out here.

“Overall, the promotion was a success in that it created a branded event that can be generated for as long at ALAMO Beer Company wants it to. The foundation was created and it only allows us to continue to expand and enhance our client’s brand in the market and their relationship with consumers,” stated Andrew M. Anguiano, CEO of Drew Advertising, “we are definitely excited about our potential for ‘Siege Week’ in years to come.”

Coincidently, the national beer publication Draft Magazine featured ALAMO Golden and Spec’s liquor ran an advertisement on the front of San Antonio’s Express-News the same week. Generating, unintended but welcomed momentum to our campaign.
