Beam Inc. [NYSE:BEAM], a global leader in premium spirits, and Canadian Club® Whisky, one of the world’s leading Canadian whiskies, today announced a new marketing campaign to celebrate guys on their ongoing quest for wisdom.

The new “Join the Club” digital campaign, which recently launched in the US, features video segments available on Facebook and in digital media that star the “Canadian Club Chairman” and offer Whisky Whisdoms™ to help guys to ease their way into the whisky world.
