Buchanan's - Make Buchanan’s relevant for at-home occasions
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Make Buchanan’s relevant for at-home occasions.
Buchanan’s is Diageo’s second largest whisky brand, after Johnnie Walker. It is hugely popular across Latin America and with Hispanic consumers across the US. But as a premium brand with a strong on-trade heritage, it was underperforming in casual, at-home occasions and ecommerce.
STRATEGY
Create mid-funnel content for shoppers planning occasions.
We identified that while Buchanan’s is good at building brand associations to aspirational at-home occasions, it was not providing solutions for shoppers planning real gatherings of friends and family.
We needed new content designed for planning and consideration channels such as Pinterest, retailer ecommerce and recipe sites.
WHAT REAL PEOPLE THINK
“Great get-togethers at home are made when everyone joins in. It doesn't matter if you are the host or a guest; preparing the party and enjoying the party become one inseparable thing.”
THE IDEA
Make it Great.
WHAT WE MADE
A content series of cocktail recipes, food pairing ideas and inspiration for at-home occasions.
We're a new breed brand and CX agency specialising in creative, content, customer experience and commerce.
We’re called The Ninety-Niners, because we stand with the 99%; the real customers who experience brands, not the 1% who create them.
We believe Adland is out of touch with real people. It has become obsessed with awards, purpose and the latest shiny technology. At The Ninety-Niners, we are obsessed with the right things; real customers, conversion and creativity.
The Ninety-Niners is the realisation of a long-held ambition to create a new kind of agency to challenge the big network model. One that provides big agency thinking, without the big agency bullshit.
