How we helped relaunch a newly transformed distillery for an iconic whisky brand
Brand home relaunch campaign for The Singleton, by MadeBrave.
The Singleton is one of Scotland’s most iconic single malt brands.
To help relaunch their transformed brand home, they came to us needing a creative spark – to bring their investment to life and attract the visitors they needed.
The challenge was to create a suite of smart and original social-first content that would make their new home stand out – not only as a beautiful distillery, but one of the most exciting visitor destinations in the Highlands.
This wasn’t a distillery with a nice bar – it felt like a world-class bar, with a distillery.
Our research showed that post-pandemic the top travel trends were towards extravagant and maximalist experiences, but not at the expense of authenticity. Visitors want to experience a place to the max, but want it to be true to itself, distinctive and not generic.
In a region with countless distilleries, what set The Singleton in Glen Ord apart was a proud focus on its bar. It was the star of the show; where the world of single malt and The Singleton becomes accessible and where visitors can enjoy it the way they want to.
We needed to show travellers that the distillery was a destination of not just discovery, but enjoyment, not just for whisky aficionados, but for anyone that enjoys flavour, fun and connection. This led us to our proposition – Enjoyment, the Singleton way.
This territory and proposition was then picked up by our creative team and brought to life in a simple, vibrant and high-energy concept.
Taking its cues from fashion films, the content was aspirational yet welcoming, maximalist yet refined.
It was a stylishly playful caper with an interactive focus, and a frame-defying introduction to the world that is The Singleton.
The main deliverable was a hero film, which reflected the vibrancy of the Brand Home. We show each of the spaces as a curated answer to ‘The Singleton Way’. It’s fast, it’s fun, it’s flavour focused, and far from the traditional promo film for a distillery.
This was then supported by cut-down teasers, made to create joyous anticipation of the brand home, giving visitors a taste of the unique Singleton quirkiness that awaits them.
