The liqueur is set for a new ad campaign, a new bottle, and a new image, writes SAMANTHA McCAUGHREN
ONE of Ireland's most successful brands, Baileys, is getting an overhaul asthe drink aims to increase global sales from 6.6m cases a year to 10m by 2007.
While the company is launching a new global ad campaign, the most dramatic change forBaileys is a redesign of the bottle, the aim being to reflect contemporary Ireland and to trigger more impulse buys of the cream drink.
Chief executive of R&A Baileys Wendy Darlington is aware of the dangers of changingany aspect of a well-established brand, but the evolving image of Baileys had outstripped the traditional look of the bottle.
Ms Darlington said that associations with Sex and the City and Friends, which the brandhas successfully sponsored, had brought with them a more modern image. However, research revealed that the packaging wasn't perceived as keeping pace with this new image.
Key to the development of the new branding has been a balance between the modern look and keeping existing customers on board.
