Difference

From its signature ornate closure to the premium glass design, the idea was to distinguish the DeLeón Tequila bottle to balance bold visual impact with ergonomic functionality. The fine-line detailing enhances its striking presence, while the crowning metallic closure exudes elegance and sophistication, ensuring it stands out on any bar.

Creative Concept

The first campaign was built on the theme of indulgence and self-expression, captured by the tagline “Vice Is Its Own Reward” and “Made in Mexico. Rockin’ the World.” These taglines encapsulated the dual identity of the brand: rooted in traditional Mexican culture yet unapologetically contemporary and daring.

Outcome

Overall, the campaign positions DeLeón Tequila as more than just a beverage—it’s a statement of taste, refinement, and bold individuality. Taste the Difference.
