About The Customer
The customer in this case is Johnnie Walker, a renowned whisky brand with a global presence. Known for its premium quality, the brand has a strong identity tied to personal progression and ambition. As the official whisky of F1, Johnnie Walker sought to leverage this association to enhance its brand visibility and drive commercial return. The brand's target audience is broad, encompassing whisky enthusiasts, F1 fans, and consumers attracted by the glamour and excitement of the sport. Through its innovative marketing campaign, Johnnie Walker aimed to engage this diverse audience and offer a unique experience tied to its brand identity.
The Challenge
Johnnie Walker, a globally recognized whisky brand, faced the challenge of leveraging its new status as the official whisky of F1, one of the world's most glamorous sports. The brand aimed to build on its purpose of personal progression and create a global campaign that would drive commercial return. The challenge was to effectively utilize this association to reach a wider audience and increase brand visibility. The campaign was initially launched in the UK, and the brand needed a unique and engaging way to attract consumers and make the most out of this sponsorship opportunity.
The Solution
To address this challenge, Johnnie Walker teamed up with TESCO to offer consumers an exciting opportunity. They created a competition where the prize was a driving master class with Jenson Button in a McLaren 650S. This innovative approach combined the thrill of F1 racing with the brand's identity, offering consumers a very real taste of the high adrenaline prize. The campaign was brought to life through a film directed by BAFTA-nominated Firecracker films. This solution not only capitalized on the brand's F1 sponsorship but also created a unique experience for consumers, thereby driving engagement and commercial return.
