Dark Matter, an innovative rum brand, enlisted LUX to strengthen their presence in the competitive premium spirits market. With at-home cocktail culture thriving, the challenge was to create a compelling proposition to drive retail success and inspire rum aficionados and newcomers alike. LUX developed the creative proposition “Stepping Out of the Ordinary’ to bring the brand to life. Our strategic approach brought this brand narrative to life through social-first content and signature serves, captured through highly stylised photography that made premium rum both accessible and aspirational.

From the creative proposition and website design to social media campaign management and sales collateral, we delivered integrated strategy with creative impact. Social media activity achieved 8.6 million reach, 202k engagement, and 290k combined influencer reach, supporting Dark Matter’s retail listings and cementing consumer connection.
