The global campaign debuts an entirely new visual identity for Tequila Don Julio through A Love Letter to Mexico which sets a global stage for Mexican creativity, all through the eyes of Mexico's original luxury tequila. Filmed across a series of locations entirely in Mexico from streets and local markets in Mexico City, to the beautiful beaches of Tulum, to Atotonilco- the home of Don Julio in the highlands of Jalisco, the result is a living testament to the brand's profound appreciation for the country, culture and people. The brand collaborated with creators at the forefront of their passions who have followed their hearts in order to share Mexican culture with the world through their craft, just as Don Julio González did when he began his tequila making journey in 1942.

The final body of work was produced in collaboration with enigmatic creatives, who have each left their mark on the campaign and helped share their own vision of Mexico.

"What truly sets this campaign apart is the entirely new visual identity that we're unveiling for Tequila Don Julio on a global stage," says Guilherme Martins, Senior Marketing Director for Global Tequila at DIAGEO & Tequila Don Julio Brand Director. "Por Amor is not just an anthem, but an invitation to celebrate the modern spirit of the country that this brand calls home and collaborate directly with its people who live Por Amor."

"As a Mexican American artist I have always felt inspired by my culture. To be asked to film a love letter to mi Mexico, as my directorial debut, has been an honor and a great privilege," shares Director, JC Molina.

"The brand's explosive growth in the US has been a result of sharing our tequila that was created out of love for craft, and this campaign is setting the stage for our next chapter," shares Christina Choi, Senior Vice President of Tequila at Diageo North America. "We've been a leader in defining luxury tequila and its culture. As we continue to share our love for tequila making with the world, we are once again defining what it means to be at the forefront of the category by partnering with Mexican creatives who demonstrate the same unparalleled drive to live Por Amor."

The stunning new work was created in partnership with Anomaly NY and Creative and Co-Director Leanne Amann. The campaign will roll out in markets around the world for the largest globally-led campaign in the brand's history. The first markets include the US, Canada and Mexico and will be supported through a robust global marketing mix in OOH, paid media, social, digital, press outreach, and events.

To help bring the campaign to life, Mexican-American celebrity photographer and cultural curator Carlos Eric Lopez captured stunning portraits of each collaborator on set in Mexico and interviewed everyone during the campaign shoot to tell their creator stories behind the scenes. The result is an amazing collection that allows these collaborators to share their own love letters for Mexico with the world. The brand has also partnered with award winning Mexican-American designer Willy Chavarria who reimagined Don Julio González's iconic hat, representing the brand's famous iconography and a cultural symbol from Mexico. This and many of his incredible statement pieces can be found throughout the Por Amor campaign after the hats made their debut on the runway during his recent NYFW show.

Tequila Don Julio encourages consumers of legal drinking age to celebrate responsibly. Follow @donjuliotequila on Instagram for more information on the Por Amor global campaign.
