Biz Stone is the Latest Stoli Original

Filed under: Spirits

Given that the first two "Stoli Originals" ad campaigns featured Hugh Hefner and actress Julia Stiles it was anyone's guess who the third might be. Proving that Twitter and its founders have hit the big time, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone is the new Stoli Original. As with previous Originals Hugh Hefner and Julia Stiles, Biz will be appearing in print ads as well as TV spots that launch tomorrow, Oct. 19, 2010.

The print ads feature Biz Stone, Twitter Pioneer, seated at a table having a drink with himself, Biz Stone, Nerd of the Year. In the commercial Biz the "Nerd of the Year" and Biz the "Twitter Pioneer" discuss whether or not Twitter is "meaningless babble" or the future of communication. There will be a Twitter cocktail party tomorrow hosted by @stoli on Twitter in celebration of the platform that Biz co-founded.

Julia Stiles is Stoli's Next "Original"

Would you have a drink with you, Julia Stiles? In June, Stoli vodka launched a new campaign with Hugh Hefner. The premise of the ad campaign is Would You Have a Drink With You? and features a "Stoli Original" having a conversation with themselves via split screen. This week the brand debuted its second Stoli Original, Julia Stiles. Stiles is a little bit of a more subtle choice than Hef. The commercial, above, shows Stiles in two versions, her more earthy indie side sidling up to a glamorous, Hollywood version of herself and discussing her career moves. Stoli chose her because they have watched her career with interest, tracing her arc between the small films and the bigger blockbusters. Personally I just like that Stiles is shown drinking one of my diet-friendly faves, the Stoli Rasberry and soda.
