Jonathan has produced more of his hallmark liquid work for the launch of two new ready mixed canned drinks from Diageo, Gordon’s and Tonic and Smirnoff and Cranberry.

Rob Fletcher, creative director of Isobel, created the Instant Evening campaign, aimed at people who may enjoy a spirit drink with a mixer, but would not consider themselves to be high enough consumers to justify the purchase of a whole bottle. The images feature the cans dropping into liquid symbolising either Tonic or Cranberry Juice along with the ingredients required for the perfect drink.
