Glenmorangie: Northern Lights Experience

Software – Keynote, Midjourney

Crafted in the heart of the Scottish Highlands since 1843, Glenmorangie embodies the art of whisky-making. From its use of Scotland’s tallest stills to innovative wood-finishing techniques Glenmorangie creates unparalleled single malt expressions that blend tradition with a forward thinking approach.

Problem

The challenge was to modernize Glenmorangie’s branding while staying true to its heritage. The aim was to appeal to a younger audience without alienating the loyal connoisseurs.

Vibe: Timeless, Experimental, and Aspirational

What I did?

I redefined Glenmorangie’s storytelling to connect heritage with modern luxury. By focusing on the “Northern Lights” theme, I created a campaign that showcases their innovation while celebrating their roots. The brand visuals and campaign elements, including social media, event designs, and digital assets, were tailored to enhance emotional engagement. Each creative decision was rooted in Glenmorangie’s authentic narrative, aligning with both Gen Z and traditional consumers.
