Johnnie Walker has rolled out an animated video in Malaysia centred on the intricate heritage of the Cantonese, Hakka and Hokkien clans to promote its newly-launched limited edition John Walker & Sons XR21 – The Legacy Collection. The new collection aims to celebrate the rich heritage and diversity of the Malaysian Chinese communities.

Done in conjunction with Kingdom Digital, the second phase of the XR21 Legacy Collection campaign is set to roll out in December and will focus on a few other Chinese communities. Aside from digital asset development and video production for the campaign, Kingdom Digital will also be leveraging on Johnnie Walker’s social media channels for further visibility.

Moët Hennessy Diageo Malaysia selected Kingdom Digital to handle digital duties for Johnnie Walker and Singleton in September, following a pitch in April. The agency is responsible for assisting both brands in their content planning and creation, creative development, along with social media management and performance analysis. Due to the company’s calendar year, the appointment is for four months with the possibility for extension.

Meanwhile, Kingdom Digital’s Ryan Ong said: “It’s an honour for us to work with such esteemed brands. Through this partnership, we are confident that we’ll be able to assist Johnnie Walker and Singleton in strengthening their brand awareness and expanding their reach through a more digital-first approach.”
