Bartending has always been a way of life and a part of an identity.

The social web is the ideal tool for a bartender to express himself and gain visibility in his own environment, even at an
international level

Vertical websites and blogs quickly become influential voices and benchmarks for the bartenders audience

Many bartenders have chosen Facebook to keep and increase the links with their professional network

Many bartenders have chosen Facebook to keep and increase the links with their professional network
Friendships and professional contacts are managed together in a funny way. The multimedia features give bartenders the possibility to express themselves “digitally” in a way
which is consistent with what they do behind the bar. They can invite friends to events at their bars; they can upload pictures and videos of their creations; they can create events
and community pages themselves

Twitter is crowded with bartenders and mixologists, twitting about their
recipes, events, competitions, awards. This is true in the English-speaking countries much more than elsewhere (even if Twitter is already
very big in Japan and it is rapidly growing everywhere)

The Mixing Star profiles were created on all the main social networks, and actively integrated with the web site (eg: Facebook social plugin; YouTube embedding tools). Also, a Facebook application (Mixing Trivial) was created to engage bartenders in a different way. Facebook ads were directed to the Mixing Trivial application. The Mixing Star ads were positioned within the application. Social profiles and FB app all played the same role of positioning the Disaronno brand and communicating the innovation of The Mixing Star competition
