Premium tequila brand 818 Tequila is launching its "Big Night In" campaign to align with shifting consumer habits, encouraging Gen Z and Millennials to embrace at-home cocktail experiences with stylish, culture-driven marketing.
As colder weather keeps more people indoors, Gen Z and Millennials are spending 10% more time at home in 2024 compared to 2003.
Likewise, searches for "dinner parties" have surged by 6000% YOY on Pinterest.
To meet consumers where they are, the Kendall Jenner-owned tequila brand is rolling out its "Big Night In" campaign, blending spirits, fashion, and digital culture to reinforce its position as a modern lifestyle brand.

The campaign arrives at a strategic moment for the tequila industry.
While overall category growth remained slow at just 2% in 2024, 818 Tequila significantly outperformed competitors, achieving a staggering 40% year-over-year volume growth — 14 times the industry average.
Consumer behavior is shifting toward curated at-home experiences, creating new opportunities for premium alcohol and lifestyle brands.
By tapping into cultural trends and digital engagement, companies can drive brand affinity and sales even in a slower market.
More than Just Cocktails
The campaign extends beyond beverages.
818 Tequila has partnered with modern ready-to-wear brand LESET to introduce The Cocktail Attire Collection — a limited-edition apparel line designed for stylish at-home entertaining.

As 818 Tequila continues its expansion, the brand’s ability to integrate cultural and influencer-driven marketing sets it apart.
With the "Big Night In" campaign, 818 Tequila is proving that tequila isn’t just for nights out — it’s for elevated nights in.
Founded by Kendall Jenner in 2021, 818 Tequila has rapidly established itself as a dominant player in the premium tequila market.
Meanwhile, Grammy-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion has launched Chicas Divertidas, her own premium tequila brand in celebration of her 30th birthday.
