Cotswolds Whisky
Celebrating Mother’s Day with Cotswold Whisky
Project challenge
To craft an engaging video series celebrating Mother’s Day, Cotswold Whisky sought to pair their signature serve with indulgent pastries. The campaign aimed to redefine whisky as a refined and versatile choice for women, highlighting its role in fostering moments of connection and indulgence.
Creative Approach
The campaign revolves around an elegant and heartfelt video series, telling a story of shared celebration. By pairing whisky with carefully chosen pastries, the content evokes warmth, sophistication, and the joy of creating special moments. Each video highlights the sensory harmony between whisky and pastries while appealing directly to women through aspirational yet relatable storytelling.
Visual Style
Aesthetic: Soft and sophisticated, blending modern luxury with cozy intimacy.
Color Palette: Neutral tones like cream and beige, accented with gold, blush pink, and deep amber to reflect both the whisky’s warmth and the feminine celebration.
Lighting: Warm, natural lighting to evoke authenticity and comfort, with soft shadows adding depth.
Nature Elements: Incorporate florals or natural textures to tie the whisky and pastries to the artisanal, grounded ethos of the brand.
Product Integration
The whisky is consistently showcased as the campaign’s centerpiece, naturally incorporated through its preparation, serving, and enjoyment.
Subtle but deliberate branding placement - such as a bottle on the table or a branded glass. This approach keeps the product central without feeling forced.
