Bowmore Single Malt Whisky: Shifting the balance of power - IPA Effectiveness Awards Case Study 2000

Brief Description: The Bowmore Islay Single Malt Whisky brand was well established, but opererating in a highly competitive market, it needed to maintain value and resist heavy pressure (from multiples) to discount. Using outdoor, the advertising built up slowly, challenging and intriguing its male target market. The advertising ran in Scotland and London only.
