Malibu Rum – Call Me Maybe


This new advert by Malibu Rum titled Welcome to Malibu which reimagines Malibu as more than just rum and invites viewers “Do Whatever Tastes Good”. In this world everyone is unplugged and can embrace the things they love as the Caribbean rum brand seeks to embrace that summer energy.

In the ad we see an actress waiting at a crosswalk as an Armadillo walks across the road. With the screech of a tyre and pink smoke she then rides to Malibu. The motorcycle then turns in to “Coco” the coconut horse as they explore this colourful new world.

This global campaign encourages consumers to live with the summer mindset all year round, wherever they are. Whether that’s sipping a piña colada in the summer while shamelessly enjoying the top hits, or mixing Malibu and sparkling wine at a holiday party, Malibu says: “Do Whatever Tastes Good.”
