YELLOWSTONE
BOURBON

  • About the Client

    Yellowstone Bourbon is a heritage Kentucky whiskey brand, originally founded in 1872 and revived in 2010 by seventh-generation distiller, Stephen Beam, at Limestone Branch Distillery.

    The brand blends time-honoured craftsmanship with modern innovation, offering a range of small-batch bourbons and supporting conservation efforts through a partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association.

  • What We Did

    We focused on raising awareness of this brand in Canada to create brand affinity and secure social and editorial coverage to drive sales in this new market.

    This included media events, influencer partnerships, earned editorial coverage, and leveraging the brand’s commitment to the country through its partnership with the Trans Canada Trail.

    Collaborating with influential people in the whisky and lifestyle spaces allowed us to create high-quality original paid and unpaid content on their social channels and to host engaging tasting events to further spark storytelling.

  • The Goal

    Raise awareness among Yellowstone’s target audiences, create brand affinity, highlight brand partnership with Trans Canada Trail, and secure social and editorial coverage to drive sales in a new market.
