Quando uma marca decide comemorar seu aniversário na internet, ela consegue trazer o consumidor para mais perto dos momentos especiais proporcionados por ela, principalmente quando se utiliza as redes sociais.

Atenta a isso, a Jack Daniel’s também encontrou uma forma divertida de comemorar seu aniversário de 159 anos.

No Facebook, a marca de uísque criou um app que permite realizar brindes virtuais.

A nova ferramenta, batizada de “Give a Toast“, permite enviar bebidas virtuais a amigos ou familiares para assinalar qualquer ocasião que seja relevante.

No entanto, a aplicação só pode ser utilizada por membros do Facebook com mais de 21 anos.

Uma hashtag (#ToastJack) foi plantada para dar um gás na campanha de aniversário via Twitter.
A marca recorre ainda ao Google Maps para indicar a localização exata dos usuários do Twitter que estão trocando “brindes virtuais”.
