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.
