The rising ascendancy of single malt whiskies from Scotland, in the minds of the market at least, meant Pernod Ricard needed to reappraise its duty-free retail campaign platform for its range of premium blended whiskies - those of a minimum age of 18 years, and older.
We needed to both set up the respective brands for renewed consideration, whilst also challenging a commoditised travel retail category and the dearth of heavier-handed heavy tones and dark textural cues therein.
By taking a dressed up and aspirational luxury/fashion/accessory category approach, we set the campaign up for cut-through clarity with a modern visual and verbal voice.
