we made it rain tequila in berlin — and won cannes

how do you get germans to choose mexico over spain? we didn't fight the berlin weather — we used it. when it rained outside, tequila rained inside.

mexico tourism — tequila cloud

the problem for the brand

mexico vs. every closer destination

spain is a short flight from germany and the food is amazing. mexico needed a reason to travel further — a reason only mexico could give.

the idea

if it rains anyway, make it rain tequila

berlin actually gets more rain than london. so we built a real cloud that mirrored the three cycles of a real one — evaporation, condensation, precipitation. when it rained outside, tequila rained inside.
