The striking cocktail imagery released today for the digital out-of-home, print and social media elements of the global campaign has been shot by leading photographer Dan Tobin-Smith.

We’re hugely excited to launch our latest brand campaign Stir Creativity, through which we’re striving to inspire and enable creative self-expression. This campaign is the next step in the long-standing commitment from BOMBAY SAPPHIRE to fostering and nurturing creativity”.
For the first brand act in the global Stir Creativity campaign, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE will launch a new experiential concept, ‘CANVAS’. Across Europe, creatives will be given a space to create, handing over blank canvas spaces to be transformed into living works of art. CANVAS will launch in London on 17 July, bringing together 12 established and emerging artists from the UK, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.
Guests to CANVAS will discover mixology as an art form, exploring the endless possibilities for creative personal twists on BOMBAY SAPPHIRE cocktails. All proceeds from the ticket sales of the London event will be donated to UK charity Developing Artists,who champion and support creativity.
