Maker's Mark Premieres "Perfectly Unreasonable"
LORETTO, Ky., Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Maker's Mark®, the iconic handmade Kentucky bourbon, today announced the launch of its new global brand campaign, Perfectly Unreasonable. The cinematic campaign asserts that going to unreasonable lengths – in life and in bourbon – is what separates good from remarkable. It celebrates those who relentlessly pursue excellence and shines a light on the unconventional decisions that have made Maker's Mark an icon.
"Perfectly Unreasonable is more than a campaign, it has been our ethos since my grandparents broke with tradition to reimagine what bourbon could be," said Rob Samuels, eighth generation whisky maker and managing director, Maker's Mark. "Maker's Mark continues to be driven by the pursuit of better bourbon and a better world, with our founders' vision as our north star."
From the beginning, Maker's Mark founders Margie and Bill Samuels Sr. committed to doing things differently. Burning the family's 170-year-old recipe to create something entirely new for the category – a delicious and balanced bourbon – and they chose the homeplace for Maker's Mark in outlying Loretto, Kentucky because of its unique water source. They were also one of the first to open their distillery doors to visitors – a precursor to today's Bourbon Trail. This challenger spirit endures today with every bottle hand-dipped in signature red wax, every barrel rotated by hand, and the brand's dedication to become B Corp and Regenified certified.
Perfectly Unreasonable was shot by acclaimed Swedish film director Marcus Söderlund and serves as a manifesto for a new generation of global bourbon enthusiasts, illustrating that breakthrough accomplishments are born from challenging the status quo with vision and determination. This global campaign marks the first execution for the brand by global creative agency Carmichael Lynch.
"This bold campaign reinforces how Maker's Mark is unique in its uncompromising commitment to excellent bourbon, as well as the personal and unconventional ways we communicate to consumers," said Chloe Lloyd-Jones, vice president of global brand marketing, Maker's Mark. "We know Perfectly Unreasonable will resonate with Maker's Mark fans, who expect nothing less from us, and new whisky drinkers around the world."
Perfectly Unreasonable premiered in the U.S. during NBC Primetime this weekend and will include integrations with NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" as well as 'The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers' and 'Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers' Podcasts. A fully integrated campaign will roll out nationally and in key markets globally throughout 2025. The hero creative will take 30-second, 15-second and six-second forms across television, streaming, digital and social media, and will be supported via the brand's website, ambassador program and distillery experiences.

Sweden's Volvo Cars switches gears in the U.S. as tariffs bite
Sweden-based automaker Volvo Cars plans to change tack in the U.S. as Washington's trade tariffs take their toll. Volvo Cars, which is owned by China's Geely Holding, on Thursday reported that second-quarter operating profit excluding items affecting comparability fell to 2.9 billion Swedish kronor ($297.83 million), down from 8 billion during the same time last year. Second-quarter revenue dropped to 93.5 billion kronor, compared to 101.5 billion kronor over the same period in 2024. Volvo Cars, which is widely considered as one of the most exposed European carmakers to U.S. tariffs, said the result reflects an ongoing challenging environment for the automotive industry. The company said it was also impacted by a previously announced one-off non-cash impairment charge of 11.4 billion kronor. The second-quarter earnings come shortly after Volvo Cars launched plans to add its best-selling XC60 sports utility vehicle to the production line of its U.S. car plant in Ridgeville outside Charleston in South Carolina. Production of the XC60, which has been the firm's best-selling model globally for years, is scheduled to start at the factory in late 2026. At the same time, Volvo Cars has started pulling sedans and station wagons from its U.S. portfolio amid waning interest, Reuters reported Thursday. It comes as U.S. tariffs of 27.5% on European-made cars and 100% on EVs imported from China have forced automakers to review their product strategies. Volvo Cars CEO Håkan Samuelsson said the company would "definitely not" pull out of the U.S. market, where it has been present for 70 years. "What we are doing is first of all, we want to fill our factory we have in South Carolina. It should be the strategic asset it was intended to be. So, we have to utilize it more," Samuelsson told CNBC's "Europe Early Edition" on Thursday. "Second, of course, now with the tariffs, it is very natural to bring in a [car model with] big-selling volume. We are bringing in the XC60 SUV," he added.
