Drake & Brent Hocking Release the Next Two Episodes for their Whiskey Brand, Virginia Black

Drake and Brent Hocking are way out in front when it come to bringing entertainment to marketing a product. Marketing, i.e., the art of differentiation is more than having a celebrity name attached, it’s having a unique way of separating yourself from the pack. None will debate that Drake is a creative mastermind and his team is hitting on all cylinders. That’s why perhaps this campaign for the new whiskey brand Virginia Black is sweeping through marketing circles across the world.

The series of comedic commercial episodes entitled “Realest Dude Ever,” are a play on the Dos EquisMost interesting man in the world” series which played out like a chapter book. Drake and his father, Dennis Graham bring a vibe in their salute to that campaign which you have to see for yourself, they are that great together on camera. Of course shout out to the creative team who brained it out and made it breathe.

Strange to have commercials on replay but they are off the charts entertaining ~ JD
