A short walk through the history of a brand.

Being a Scots fellow born on the doorstep of the birthplace of this fine golden dram, I was almost brought to tears over its delivery.

We overlook the the role of story telling when discussing brands but it has a great deal of significance in alluring customers. The truer the story, the more compelling the brand and the closer our relationship to it.

When designing, (in particular for packaging) researching a products history, or where its from or local yarns or even tall tales may lead to interesting solutions for the name, the packaging, the design.

And... GO SCOTLAND!!!!
