1800 Tequila
1800 Tequila launched a campaign in collaboration with a team of 12 very talented artists who designed artwork for collectible limited edition bottles. There are only 1800 of each design, which are available at liquor stores nationwide starting at $34.99. Some of the bottles are available online here.
"Tequila Essential Artists series celebrates a dynamic range of original artwork on a unique and unexpected medium – bottles of 100% Agave Silver Tequila! Showcasing eleven designs gathered from over 15,000 online submissions, selected by 1800 Tequila, and one special edition “celebrity artist” bottle, this new line is a vibrant example of the undiscovered, yet soon-to-be-recognized talent residing across the country.”
A graphic designer based in Atlanta, GA Michelle Villasenor's design titled 'Moonlit' featuring an owl illustration was chosen for the Second Essential Artist National advertising campaign for 1800 tequila.
