I’m not a scotch drinker – and perhaps, neither are you – but I am an admirer of creative, brilliantly executed advertising. So, I thought I’d share this remarkable advertisement for Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskey.
It stars Robert Carlyle who delivers an incredible six minutes monologue in a single take, while interacting with various props lined up along his (must be) mile-long walk as he recounts the history of the Johnnie Walker brand.
“The Man Who Walked Around The World” is truly a masterful production that demonstrates some agencies still know how to make a brilliant commercial with impeccable craftsmanship and storytelling skill…” — AdWeek
Impeccable. I hope you enjoy it.
Another great commercial find! I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the story or Robert Carlyle’s accent as both were entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it. I’m wondering how much rehearsing it took to get that timing just right. Amazing performance & camera work.
Let’s bring a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label to our bootcamp one morning.
For before or after the workout?
That is a brilliant piece of advertising! Thanks for sharing! Wine is fine, but liquor is quicker.
