The alcohol market is more dynamic than ever, and with consumer preferences evolving rapidly, there’s an exciting opportunity to find out how you can stand out in a crowd. By embracing fresh creative strategies, you can capture attention, build stronger connections, and thrive in a competitive space. So, here are our top three ways to make an impact: 

Storytelling  

Today’s consumers crave authenticity. A compelling brand story can create emotional connections going beyond just the product or service you’re selling and creating a deeper sense of loyalty and engagement among your key audiences. In fact, 64% of consumers are more likely to purchase from a brand whose story resonates with them. 

Our work with Ben Lomond Gin is a key example of this, we took their brand and elevated it, bringing their adventurous spirit to life through a series of digital activations, creative reshaping and brand storytelling. You can read all about it here. 

Who are you talking to? 

With digital ad competition at an all-time high, precision matters. Using data and insights to not only understand who your audience is but also make sure your message is reaching the right audience at the right time is the key to maximising impact and seeing a strong return on your investment. 

We talk about it a lot, but it’s because we understand the importance in optimising your marketing efforts, whether that’s across organic, paid, out of home or other digital routes there’s work we can do to ensure your campaigns land.  Our work with Isle of Harris is a great example of this, check it out here.

If the budget allows... think BIG and don’t take yourself too seriously: Harrison x Glenmorangie 

Okay. We know not every budget will stretch this far, but the concept remains that you can poke fun at your category and still be wildly successful. The team have been chatting non-stop about the new partnership between Harrison Ford and whisky brand Glenmorangie. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a great example of bringing two unexpected characters together with their director Joel Edgerton saying: “I’ve spent my whole life watching commercials that follow an expected format and so I really like it when things are a little disruptive, fun, and irreverent.” And we couldn’t agree more.  

Unexpected partnerships can unlock entirely new audiences and elevate your brand in new and exciting ways. Collaborating across industries like fashion, sports, or wellness creates fresh engagement opportunities and positions your brand as a cultural trendsetter. And it gets people talking!
