"Fortunately, due to the popularity of both Patron tequila and Guillermo del Toro, this combination was undoubtedly a success, and the demand far exceeded the offer we were able to make," he said.

In addition to this special product made with the renowned filmmaker, in 2018 the company decided to make the Day of the Dead celebration an emblem of the initiative "The art of pattern that consists of linking the agave drink to artistic expressions from different countries."

"We have done this for several years now, we invite artists to paint the bottle, make sculptures, and more. This year we decided to link this initiative with the Day of Dead ," he claimed.

Within the framework of this initiative, which is accompanied by an outstanding advertising campaign, the brand develops special events in at least 10 markets around the world to highlight Mexican traditions.
