BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - Jun 4, 2012) - Jack Daniel's, along with ad agency Arnold Worldwide, has unveiled www.jackdaniels.com, a responsively designed website. The global site adapts to the device it is viewed on, whether a desktop, tablet or mobile. As the number of devices, platforms and browsers grow, and as consumers increasingly access brand, product and service information on the go, the updated site allows for Jack Daniel's to serve up relevant content to the visitor based on the device being used.
"At Jack Daniel's, we believe that to transcend the ordinary, the brand must demonstrate its craftsmanship not only in whiskey, but in everything we do, including digital communication," said Carmen D'Ascendis, Director of Global Marketing for Jack Daniel's. "Both technology and the way our friends consume media have changed since we last updated our website. Recognizing the desire for mobility, Arnold brought the most sought-after information to the forefront using a simple, intuitive navigation system. By doing so they have created a site that promotes deeper engagement with the brand through a richer content experience."
When visitors enter www.jackdaniels.com, they are welcomed with a scrolling, multimedia timeline of key moments throughout the brand's 137-year history. With the goal of creating an experience as unique as Jack Daniel's, the content includes videos, photos, product information, company news and interesting historical facts to give an insider's look at the brand. Through Facebook integration, visitors can "Like," comment and share content.
In addition to the multimedia timeline, the site features five key content areas:
