The Challenge: Though Windsor is Korea’s number 1 selling Whisky, many of its consumers have a weak emotional connection with the brand. Task: How do we connect with all the indifferent Windsor drinkers, turn them into adorers, and then sign them up online. Insight: People desire the things they are denied. Idea: Turn our difficult objective into the core of a dramatic solution by creating the Diamond Jubillee Club, an exclusive 'secret' society that people will be desperate to join; Make them feel that this is impossible, and then let them sign up. The DJC is a core element at the centre of a celebrity-studded action packed drama told across sharable content including: 4 online movies, 6 graphic novels, teasers, character blogs, treasure hunts and enormous amounts social media chatter. Six weeks in and our revolutionary branded entertainment format is the talk of Korea, and is snowballing fast.
