Research Strategy
To determine the agency of record that was used by the On the Rocks Cocktails company and the corresponding advertising channels used, we looked through the company's websites and press releases. We also looked through marketing sites and media publications. However, we were not able to find the official agency on record by the company and the corresponding advertising channels. What we found were the marketing campaigns that were posted by OTR on its websites and press releases.
We also looked for any acknowledgments or credits on the advertising creatives that OTR posted on its website, social media channels, blogs, and others. We hoped to find an agency on record that created the campaigns found. However, there were no indications on these creatives as to who created the campaigns and only the OTR company name was indicated.
We then looked for agencies that specialize in doing marketing campaigns for beverage brands such as The Food Group, Straight North, Powerbrands, IMI, and others. We also looked through the client lists of other agencies that handle all industries. We hope to determine if any of these agencies listed any beverage clients such as OTR Cocktails on their websites. Based on this approach, we were not able to find OTR in the client list of these agencies. What we found is that the IMI agency creates beverage campaigns for some of its clients where OTR cocktail products are being served. Based on this, we have presented the information that the IMI agency might have created some of the OTR cocktail brand campaigns for their clients. However, the details of the IMI agency campaigns for these establishments were not found.
We inferred that the reason why these pieces of information are not available could be due to the private nature of this information. Based on our quick look at several websites of private companies, the agency of record for their campaigns were also not available.
