The Macallan
Showcasing shared values content

Challenge
The Macallan wanted to create interesting and relatable content through inspirational artist stories and shared interest areas. Five videos across two separate bursts with renowned talent who have a genuine connection with the brand had been created by The Macallan. It then looked to CNN to create a partnership that would drive video views.
Solution
CNN’s global in-house brand studio, Create, produced a bespoke interactive digital hub which hosted The Macallan’s short documentary-style films as well as original branded content articles written to sit alongside the video content. Each article linked through to The Macallan’s site. Native banners and high impact RE/Form display banners were distributed across CNN’s digital network, hyper-targeted to The Macallan’s bespoke target audience driving users to The Macallan ‘In collaboration with’ own hub.
