SPIRITS
Sasha V helped launch Twenty Grand Vodka in 2012
as a part of an organic influencer marketing team. The
task was to create cultural relevancy for an otherwise
unknown brand in an over-saturated market. Our task
was to gain brand equity amongst tastemakers and
hip, urban consumers in all major cities.

8. The next few pages show a few examples of what
we created. We designed a marketing strategy
that superseded traditional platforms. We hit the
ground running with experiential events and social
campaigns to create a cultural currency for the brand
to strengthen the identity in the music, fashion, arts
and culture world.

GAME PLAN
9. Twenty Grand Vodka created a live art installation in
a 20x20 space with a live wheat-pasting and social
experience on the A3C festival grounds. Sasha V
coordinated the event strategy and hired a creative
team of artists, carpenters, and designers to execute
the activation.
During the festival, Instagram photos were taken
by promo models and 1,500+ festival go-ers. They
were then uploaded via the hashtag #20GrandA3C
and printed on-location. Local Atlanta artists: Sean
Fahie and Brandon Sadler wheat-pasted the once
bare walls and transformed the space into a ‘Post-
No-Bills’ inspired experience using event photos and
pre-designed branded posters.
Those who shared their photos via Instagram were
offered the ultimate Grand Bar experience: samples
of Twenty Grand Vodka products, branded tee-shirts,
lighters, and cocktail recipe books.

16. Sasha V developed a brand and PR strategy for
celebrity personal trainer, Just-Train. This entailed
creating a brand story, determining the market
positioning, organizing social content, and further
categorizing the brand’s fitness methodology.
With clients spanning the globe, including all-star
comedian: Kevin Hart-- Just-Train was looking for an
opportunity to expand its fitness company through
brand partnerships and sponsorships. We designed
a press kit that we used for pitches to Nike, Under
Armour, Reebok, and Powerade. In addition, we
developed a YouTube video strategy to create new
monetization opportunities for the company.
