Global Influencer Strategy
The Brief
Pernod Ricard’s premium whisky brand, Royal Salute, needed an always-on social content strategy to elevates the rich heritage of the brand while aligning with their new brand positioning, Make it Momentous.
What We Did
We collaborated with a global influencer network to amplify prestigious polo events, such as the Sentebale Royal Polo Cup and the Royal Salute Coronation Cup with an authentic storytelling strategy.
Through the creation of two ‘Monumentous’ influencer campaigns, we leveraged the events to create a suite of immersive content, trialling innovative content formats to drive social media engagement and launch the new brand positioning.
