Telling Stories is about shaping how Christmas is perceived by revealing the personalities, experiences, and identities behind what people choose to drink.

It was done to build emotional relevance by showing that whisky isn’t just a beverage but a reflection of someone’s real Christmas character and story.​

RESULT

The project resulted in:

  • A cohesive Christmas activation ecosystem that translated Clan Campbell’s brand idea into both storytelling and participation.

  • Combining narrative-led visibility with interactive digital and physical experiences.

  • Positioning the brand as a cultural and social expression. 

  • Driving awareness, engagement, and relevance among target audiences.
