Diageo’s whisky brand Johnnie Walker has rolled our a new campaign in Brazil appealing to the country’s fast-growing market with a blockbuster-like spot. From the first sight, the new video seems to be strange as it’s hard to imagine that people on the streets would laugh if they saw a stony colossus arising from Rio de Janeiro’s Sugar Loaf mountain landmark.

Johnnie Walker, which launched a massive campaign to celebrate Chinese visionaries and pioneers earlier this year, has introduced another installment of its ‘Step inside the circuit’ initiative, unveiled in January. The campaign was created to highlight the brand’s partnership with the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 team and pay tribute to the drivers with a series of short black-and-white films and a range of consumer engagement pieces like the ‘Step inside your ultimate drive’ extension, developed by iris Singapore and launched in July, or the new ‘Go Face to Face’ Facebook application.

Johnnie Walker opened The Johnnie Walker House in Shanghai, the first of its kind outside of Scotland, which marks a new chapter for whisky culture in China. Celebrities and the social elite joined in the event:  Xia Yu, who was a named winner at The 51st Venice film festival; Chen Kun, winner of both the Huabiao and Baihua award; and Peter Chan, the influential film director and producer took part in the unveiling ceremony on May 19. The three celebrity guests, along with Johnnie Walker’s Master Blender, Dr. Jim Beveridge, led a tour for distinguished guests inside The Johnnie Walker House and engaged them in an interactive exploration of centuries-old whisky culture, from the shores of Scotland to the luxury of Shanghai.

Diageo’s Johnnie Walker launched a massive advertising campaign in China revolving around the ‘Keep walking’ motto. The new promotional push dubbed ‘Yulu’ (or ‘Words of a Journey’), the brand’s largest ever effort of this kind on the market, sees 12 Chinese pioneers—including an artist, a real estate businessman, a fashion designer and a blogger—representing different areas of business and art and telling their inspirational life stories.

December is all about getting ready for Christmas and sharing gifts with the ones you love. While giving presents to each other is something men can do quite easily, sharing deep emotions is usually a much tougher thing. Taking this theme as the key one for its new marketing push, Johnnie Walker collaborated with the BBH NY agency to release a tongue-in-cheek spots exploring this purely male characteristic. “Say it without saying it,” encourages the tagline of the smart holiday campaign, which is rolling out on the brand’s website.
