Definitive Guide to Late Night

Made Man’s Definitive Guide offered an exclusive look at Late Night, sponsored by Don Q. Eighteen "Late Night" focused pieces were published throughout the Don Q campaign featuring Don Q takeover, skins and roadblocks. 

Defy’s team designed and built out two custom placements. The 'Expanding Page Engage' housed Don Q’s pre-roll, Speakeasy and custom videos, and was a vehicle to help drive views for the spots. The Interactive Pre-Roll ran across the Defy Network, and allowed users to select the pre-roll video they wanted to view – Core or Cristal.

Speakeasy + Made Man

Set in a rustic Hollywood lounge, Speakeasy, hosted by Paul F. Tompkins, focused on celebrities, their favorite spirits and the personal stories they serve up.
