The task
Take a historic, dormant brand and re-interpret so as to connect a 19th Century whisky with a target audience in its late twenties.

The opportunity: Create a truly non-conformist whisky brand aimed at non-stereotypical whisky drinkers – a lifestyle brand as much as a whisky brand.

 
     
       
The brand truth

 
 
 
Driving the truth
200 years of being unconventional. From the moment Glen Rossie was created with a 90% malt content - which flew in the face of the norm and signaled it as a disruptive brand – to the present day and its rock and roll owner: Francis Rossi.
 
 
Added grip
The branding is a pure product demonstration of the emotional benefit of the brand – rebellion. We built the brand around:

Whisky Punk: Tapping into the spirit of rock and roll and its intimate relationship with whisky – we squared the conundrum the target drinker feels – wanting to drink whisky but not wanting to signal they’re conforming to a life stage. The brand will be driven by its packaging and advertising, so we created packaging that deliberately challenged the conventions. And we created a multi-staged campaign that drove the long-term advertising direction for the brand.
