Scallywag Speyside Malt Small Batch: BIG Love!
Douglas Laing today unveils a multi-channel marketing campaign, driving the pairing of their Scallywag Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky with chocolate for Valentine’s Day.
The crusade to tempt consumers into experimenting with the heavenly pairing launches with a suite of lifestyle images, the ultimate Valentine’s Day cocktail recipe and a digital campaign launching across the Speyside Malt brand’s top ten markets. The independently-owned firm behind the Scallywag brand say they intend to "invest heavily” in bringing the content to their target market through targeted Instagram advertising, display media and email marketing activation.
Cara Laing, Director of Marketing in her family business, comments:
“We’ve invested heavily in the Scallywag and chocolate pairing at both consumer and trade level in recent years. The consistent feedback on how perfectly the rich, Sherry and fruity profile of Scallywag enhances the decadent flavours and texture of chocolate is resoundingly positive, and we’re excited to inject new energy into the platform with this new campaign. Valentine’s Day is a key gifting period in the Whisky calendar and our new campaign seeks to ensure Scallywag will be the whisky of choice for loved ones this February.”
Scallywag Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky retails at £40 / 48€ and is available from specialist spirits retailers, online and in Morrisons stores across the UK.
