We are thrilled to announce that the "Jameson Arrive Like A Local" Travel Wallet has been shortlisted for the prestigious Campaign Tech Awards under the category "Tech as Part of a Campaign - Consumer Goods and Retail." This recognition is a testament to the innovative work by Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail in partnership with SmartMedia Technologies, 92 Proof, and The Zoo Republic.

A Campaign That Connects and Converts

The "Jameson Arrive Like A Local" campaign is a brilliant example of how our technology can transform the travel experience into an immersive, fun and engaging adventure. Leveraging cutting-edge Web3 technology, the campaign offers travelers a unique way to explore Dublin through immersive AR/XR encounters and exclusive offers, blending the digital with the physical world seamlessly. It's more than just a marketing strategy; it's about turning customers into true fans of the brand, creating a community of engaged and enthusiastic followers.

The Technology Behind the Experience

At the heart of this campaign is the Web3-enabled SmartWallet, developed by SmartMedia Technologies. This innovative platform not only allows for a gamified exploration of Dublin but also enhances user engagement through interactive treasure hunts, quizzes, and location-based experiences. It's designed to make every traveler feel like a local, offering insights into the culture and hidden gems of Dublin while providing tangible benefits like special access to the Jameson Bow Street Distillery.

Celebrating Excellence at the Campaign Tech Awards

The Campaign Tech Awards are a recognition of outstanding innovation and technological integration in advertising campaigns. This year, our "Jameson Arrive Like A Local" campaign shares the spotlight with other notable finalists:

  • Kenvue: “Cracking the cookie conundrum and diversifying performance with an addressable first for Listerine” by Kinesso UK&I, pioneering in targeted digital advertising.

The inclusion of these diverse and creative campaigns underscores the high standard of this year’s awards, demonstrating a wide range of how technology can be effectively used to enhance brand messaging and customer interaction. The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in June.
