Media Edge: Johnnie Walker shifts strategy to reach multicultural audiences
The JW brand recently invested in an experiential activation around the 2023 Oscars. The initiative included a red carpet constructed from vignettes representing female filmmakers, especially ones who the show's nominations had rebuffed. The brand did not, however, advertise during the official ABC broadcast. Instead, JW's efforts focused on the mission experience to beget content and inspire people to get involved as opposed to traditional advertising, according to Sophie Kelly, parent company 's NA whiskeys and Baileys SVP.
Per AMC marketing head Kim Granito, JW parent company Diageo started working with AMC in 2020, when the network group launched The Content Room, its branded content studio.
Diageo's Kelly mentioned that since consumers have watched more TV than ever during COVID, the company has started ramping up its linear [TV] media and focusing more on niche audiences. Diageo is overall balancing its branded content and its more traditional advertising, especially as it continues growing its advanced audiences and targeted creative delivery growth capabilities.
