NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Devotion doesn't always make sense, but it could mean the difference between great and legendary. Tequila Don Julio is honoring the legacy of late founder Don Julio González with "A Life Devoted to Tequila Making" a new global advertising campaign launching first in the U.S., the largest marketing effort from the brand to-date. The body of work illustrates González's unconventional yet legendary methods that resulted in the creation of one of the world's highest quality tequilas meant to be enjoyed in celebration with friends and family.

Created by Anomaly New York, the campaign depicts the story of Don Julio González through a collection of cinematic shorts and still imagery that will be featured across digital and social media. Shot entirely in Mexico, the creative treatments highlight Don Julio González's 'Principles of Devotion' that bring to life the perplexing processes that resulted in liquid perfection. From whispering to his agave plants, to planting them uncharacteristically further apart in the Highlands of Jalisco, Don Julio González's principles elevated the standards of tequila making into what we know today.
"We are proud to introduce the 'A Life Devoted to Tequila Making' campaign in honor of the incredible yet unconventional legend of our founder Don Julio González as told by the true stars who have helped to share Don Julio with the world – the bartenders," shares Christina Choi, Senior Vice President of Tequila, Diageo North America. "Don Julio didn't set out on his tequila making journey for fame or money, but rather he was devoted to crafting the highest quality tequila to enjoy with friends and family. Our friends and family in the bar and restaurant community are equally devoted, and we owe it to them to show our support, which is why we're donating an additional $25,000 to the Restaurant Workers' Community Foundation, a valued partner throughout this pandemic."
Tequila Don Julio's new donation to the Restaurant Workers' Community Foundation, an advocacy and action nonprofit created by and for restaurant workers, will be made in Don Julio González's honor. This donation is a part of an ongoing effort as the brand continues to support friends and familia in the bar and restaurant community who have shared our tequila with the world throughout the years and are amongst the hardest hit during this incredibly challenging time.

About Restaurant Workers' Community Foundation
Restaurant Workers' Community Foundation is an advocacy and action nonprofit created by and for restaurant workers. RWCF was founded in 2018 to advocate for – and raise funds for other nonprofits working toward – gender equity, racial justice, fair wages, and healthy work environments in the restaurant industry. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, RWCF's additional focus is on supporting workers in crisis and small business owners with the Restaurant Workers COVID19 Crisis Relief Fund.
RWCF is America's first nonprofit using the community foundation model to support people in a particular labor segment. We are a community dedicated to making the restaurant industry more hospitable to everyone. In our normal model (prior to the establishment of the crisis relief fund) one third of the funds we raise goes to our own community-building and advocacy efforts, one third to grantmaking to other nonprofits (ones that provide career training, advocate for fair wage policies and worker rights, or provide services for restaurant workers related to gender and racial equity, and mental health and substance abuse) and one third is allocated to an impact investing fund, with which we aim to positively affect worker rights in the industry.
