Topgolf Goes Out Swinging in New Campaign From Preacher

The new campaign takes a humorous, musical approach

Global sports and entertainment community, Topgolf Entertainment Group, is launching its first-ever integrated brand campaign called “Go Out Swinging,” also the brand’s new tagline (which will bleed through its venues, ads, signage, etc). The campaign will run year-round, and takes a humorous, musical approach to showcase Topgolf as the perfect venue for finding common ground for life’s everyday occasions -- not just the big occasions. 

The strategy behind all this stemmed from research done showing that  while most people know what Topgolf is, they don't always know when to go. This led to the strategy behind the campaign of sparking new occasions for Topgolf guests - golfers and non-golfers alike- to visit the venues.

So in other words (and in the words of the ads)…. If you're going to go out, you should "go out swinging." 

Check out the first spot, entitled 'Nobody Flaked', below:

Check out the second spot, 'Babysitter', below:

And check out the final spot, 'Long Lunch', below:

The work was created by Preacher, Topgolf’s creative AOR, and comes to life through :30, :15 and :06 videos drawing from life’s little under-celebrated moments –  stuff like long work lunches, landing a last-minute sitter, and reveling in the fact that no one flaked on group text plans. In addition digital ads prompt other reasons to go to Topgolf, from brunch to late-night, and playdates to first dates. The campaign is backed by a heavy buy across Hulu connected TV, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, along with social initiatives running on Snapchat, and across Topgolf’s owned social platforms and in-venue marketing.

Nick Troop, ACD/Art Director at Preacher said, “For each group, there’s always someone - a “playmaker”- who carries the torch of gathering their people for some quality time. So for this campaign, powerful songs or ballads seemed like the perfect way to dial up the emotion and importance of making the perfect plans at the perfect place - Topgolf. We worked with a fantastic music house - Walker, and a hilarious director in Jake Szymanski, to tell stories of plans coming together to keep Topgolf top of mind for all the playmakers out there as they plan their next group outing.”
