Go Drink Yourself

Have you seen the new, re-imagined SouthernComfort.com? Our brethren at W+K New York designed and built it. It’s a platform for drinkers to show how they like to drink their Southern Comfort. An open source website where any of you with a computer, tablet or smartphone can create your drink and share it with your friends, just the way you like it.

You just go to the site to make your own drinks, get recipes from other drinkers, and even learn about Southern Comfort’s history. Drinks are customised from start to finish. Pick a container, fill it up with your pick of ingredients, add a garnish, name your drink, and share away. Your custom drink recipe will live forever on the site for everyone to enjoy.

In every nook and cranny of the site Southern Comfort’s ‘Whatever’s Comfortable’ spirit is present. Even the 404 page shares the tonality of the brand.

And it doesn’t end there. There’s even incentive to get involved with the site:

We invite you to Go Drink Yourself. Make a delicious drink recipe of your own on SouthernComfort.com, enter it into the Go Drink Yourself contest, and then share it with everyone you know to get as many MMM’s as possible. (Yup, an MMM is indeed a Southern Comfort like!) Winners will be chosen from the best of the best drinks. And winners win a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind mug featuring their face.

The 1st ever annual fully International W+K Moustache Growing Competition

The first ever fully annual W+K Moustache growing competition poster is now officially official. We even have our own poster.

After some early design experiments…

We are happy to land here:

W+K Moustache Comp 09 Poster A3

As you can clearly see it's a competition, for growing moustaches, and it's been going since the beginning of the month. The closing date for top lip growth is Monday 30th Movember. The comp is open to folk from all our offices, and there's reports of some impressive top lips already in existence around the global network. We're stoked to have Evan Dumas from our Portland office on board acting as our official sponsor. In his spare time he runs a Moustache Wax company with a friend on called 'Man's Face Stuff'. There's currently a couple of tubs on their way to each office in time for the closing date.

W+K London is proving to be a significantly hairier place than usual this Movember.
