TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - January is the "kick-back" month - a time when guys put the holiday frenzy behind them - and the LCBO is helping them make the most of it with a broad-based digital campaign offering a series of online options for post-holiday get-togethers. The "switch it up" promotion helps men look for simple, quick ideas for appropriate drinks to serve during a month when many guys like to spend time at home watching sports, playing games or just "hanging out".

Designed for men aged 25 to 35, the switchitup.ca micro site takes users on a fun and simple online experience. Visitors navigate through selecting options for "who they would invite" (a trillionaire, sports caster or country singer), "where would they be" (a loft, chalet or man cave) and "what they will be doing" (grilling, watching sports or playing cards). Once selected, the 'Switch It Up' engine generates a humorous video that online visitors can share with friends. Users can view and share from up to 27 of these videos based on the multiple combinations. Included is a selection of beverages to complement the get together.

"Our aim is to spice up an otherwise dreary January by injecting some new, fun ideas for entertaining during traditional guys' get-togethers," says Kerri Dawson, LCBO Marketing Director.  "It's an opportunity for male consumers to break their routines and create a social occasion with new drink ideas that are all available in one stop at the LCBO."

Developed by Cossette, Toronto, the campaign is being supported by QR codes in-store, online advertising and social media sharing.

The campaign is being launched this month and will extend to Super Bowl Sunday, February 5. Please visit www.switchitup.ca today to discover this exciting online experience."

The LCBO reminds everyone to please drink responsibly and for a one stop source for responsible hosting tips, advice on pouring proper size drinks and alcohol-free Mocktails, visit www.deflatetheelephant.com.

The microsite and videos are available in English only
