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

THE MIXING STARON THE SOCIAL WEB
THE MIXING STARWEBSITE
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

How Bartenders see them and what they want?How Bartenders see them and what they want?
Bartenders like to see them as Entertainers.
Fame and notoriety, among their peers, is a strong Motivation, even beyond money.
Bartender Contests are more of an obligation rather than a occasion to have fun.
Talking with peers is a moment to exchange ideas and suggestions
