Brief Explanation

We decided to keep this year's spokesperson's identity a secret until the exclusive launch event, where key media VIPs, bloggers, and Twitteraties instantly broke the news onine and created massive country-wide buzz about the campaign and its microsite. People were able to interact and share how they would Keep Lebanon Walking, where visitors could watch, share, and comment on the TVC and podcasts – all linked to the Johnnie Walker Lebanon Facebook page, which mirrored the microsite interactions. In less than 3 months, the Facebook page reached 1,629,575 people in a country with a Facebook population of just over 1.4 million, giving our message and our campaign significant online traction.
