42 Below Because We Can
42Below, the world famous New Zealand vodka brand, has commissioned a set of online films using the tag line, “Because We Can”. 42Below decided to create a web based movement to celebrate people who live by their own rules and those who follow their own dreams. They wanted a platform to unite the free thinkers, the independent spirits, the creators and the artists of the world. Australian creative collective The Glue Society was commissioned to start the movement with a group of actors in white suits, online at today’s site of the day, www.becausewecanonline.com
The Because We Can campaign has been launched online at www.becausewecanonline.com (available for people of legal drinking age), Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.
42Below is offering USD$4200 for the best submission of a video of events and activities that have been created to capture the sense of “adventure, curiosity and the concept of “Because We Can.” Film directors have until 12.00GMT time on the 31st November to create and submit their own video at www.becausewecanonline.com.

The Because We Can campaign was developed at The Glue Society, Sydney, with editing work done by Mark Burnett at The Editors and production at Radical Media with director of photography Rob Marsh, still photographer Derek Henderson, photography producer Benjamin Hams at MAP. Music is being produced by Anton Hiscock at Trailer Media.
Jonathan Kneebone of The Glue Society said: “Our approach is all about bringing brand’s personalities to life – but it is rare that we get to use our experience in the art world to create something for a commercial client.”
