Bacardi's Shake Your Future

Shake your Future is a global initiative by Bacardi to provide bartender training and education to folks that may not have the time or funds to access it. This would be the first North American execution of the project. Along with our partners at Civil Liberties we developed the course material, sourced supplemental educators, designed any/all physical branded assets, and captured the course through photo and video. The course was executed over 4 weekends in March 2025.
