Bringing NFTs to the NFL with Crown Royal

In partnership with Salesforce, Diageo, and Vayner3, Crown Royal expands its tradition of generosity into Web3 through the launch of the brand's first digital collectible.

Crossmint x Crown Royal

Last week, we reached millions of households as Crown Royal dropped their "That Deserves a Crown" NFT campaign live during the Thanksgiving NFL game. We partnered with the number-one selling Canadian whisky brand in the world to give back - digitally. Send an NFT to someone who makes a difference in your life; for each digital collectible claimed, Crown Royal is sending a care package to an active-duty American military member.

‍Anyone 21+ can participate at: pack.crownroyal.com

The mint is powered by our Minting API, enabling anyone to mint and send the NFTs with just an email address - no crypto or wallet required. Recipients will receive their digital crowns in a Crossmint Wallet associated to the email address used when sending the NFT. By leveraging NFTs, Crown Royal unlocks a unique and innovative form of brand engagement, paving the way for loyalty program and charitable initiatives.

For each crown digital collectible claimed between November 24 and December 31, 2022 (up to 75,000 total), one signature Crown Royal purple bag will be packed and sent as a care package to American military active duty members overseas as an extension of the Crown Royal Purple Bag Project, an initiative designed in partnership with Packages From Home.
