Starward Whisky is taking a bold step onto the global stage with its new campaign ‘To New Horizons’, developed with creative agency, TABOO. The campaign invites drinkers to break away from convention and embark on a journey into new frontiers of whisky enjoyment.

 

Since it was founded in Melbourne by David Vitale in 2007, Starward has swiftly ascended in the whisky world, clinching the title of the World’s Most Awarded Distillery of the Year at the prestigious 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Their signature maturation process, which uses locally sourced red wine barrels, pays homage to their Melbourne roots and is an integral part of their brand identity.

The ‘To New Horizons’ platform seeks to captivate both seasoned aficionados and newcomers to whisky, urging them to explore beyond traditional confines and discover whisky’s potential in delicious new cocktails and occasions. The hero film, shot by Max Greenstein of Betty Wants In and set in Melbourne’s iconic ‘HER’, explores the world of luscious cocktails, food pairings and moments to be discovered through Starward’s unique flavour profile.  With a prominent presence on social media, YouTube, Foxtel, catch-up TV, and outdoor advertising nationally, the campaign is poised to extend its influence into the global market next year, further solidifying Starward’s international presence.



Reflecting on the campaign’s ethos, Starward’s Marketing Director, Brendan Moynihan states “Starward has always stood for defying traditional category conventions by taking whisky out of its comfort zone and making it more accessible for the next generation of curious drinkers.  ‘To New Horizons’ reflects our dedication to this journey of discovery and we’re excited to see how it connects with the global whisky community.”

TABOO’s Melba Gounas adds insight into the collaboration: “Working with Starward on ‘To New Horizons’ has been like a toast to new adventures and old friends. It’s about embracing the future, injecting new energy and vibrancy, and connecting with everyone ready to explore the unknown, one sip at a time.”

Coinciding with the integrated campaign is the introduction of a bold new packaging refresh by renowned global design and packaging agency Stranger & Stranger, which showcases Starward’s innovative spirit. The “To New Horizons” insignia on each bottle is a mark of the brand’s progressive vision and drive.
