Highland Park: A Tribe Apart

Role

Global toolkit

Highland Park is an award-winning whisky whose story is rooted in its Orkney home and the obsession of the people who craft it. I had the opportunity to work with Highland Park on the launch of the ‘A Tribe Apart’ campaign for the UK market.

The primary objective of the campaign is to effectively convey the core message of “A Tribe Apart”. The campaign creative should honour the connections and principles that unite individuals, making them distinct, and focus on celebrating the unique community of Highland Park in its first year.

The Process

We established a ‘tribal manifesto’ during the creative strategy phase. This copy was to be used across the campaign assets. I then worked on creative concepts for the key visual and tribal manifesto. The chosen key visual creative incorporates the Highland Park product imagery and the tribal manifesto of “A Tribe Apart,” establishing the narrative through storytelling. Embracing bold typography and a monochromatic palette with a hint of orange, the campaign creative strives to be visually impactful yet welcoming. The illustrations prominently showcase Viking heritage and the bonds of the tribe.

Once the final key visual scamps were signed off, I worked with a retoucher to create the perfect product shots. I then oversaw the art working process to create assets in multiple formats for both above-the-line (ATL) and below-the-line (BTL) executions. The campaign toolkit was adapted across global markets.
