NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Celebrating female leadership through rebellious spirit, Grace O’Malley Irish Whiskey announces the launch of a new advertising campaign, Meet the Queen of Irish Whiskey, in the US market as well as in Germany and Ireland. The campaign aims to communicate the brand’s support of a powerful image of women, as presented by the 16th-century seafarer, clan chief, and legendary pirate, Grace O’Malley, one of the world’s most extraordinary female trailblazers.

With her keen sense of community and justice, determined perseverance, and resourcefulness, Grace O’Malley left a lasting mark on Ireland both during her life and throughout Irish folklore for generations. Inspired by her energy and modern outlook, the current campaign of this young Irish whiskey brand uses their flagship whiskey, Grace O’Malley Blended Irish Whiskey, to elevate all women.

Speaking about the new campaign, Heather Clancy, Brand Manager for Grace O’Malley Spirits, said, “The time is right for the ‘Queen of Irish Whiskey’. Irish whiskey has seen a rapid rise in female consumption of Irish Whiskey in the last ten years. Grace O’Malley was a woman far ahead of her time. We’re embodying the spirit of this phenomenal woman in our new campaign in the form of many different women who are living representations of the Pirate Queen. We are not trying to create a female-only brand but rather include everyone in the conversation around whiskey and break down the stereotypes of what a typical whiskey consumer is and take away the snobbery that can surround the category.”

Similar to the brand itself, the campaign is designed to appeal to an international audience and will be rolled out via select online and OOH campaigns. Primarily targeting the 24–45-year-old consumer, the campaign will be supported by POS materials displayed at key wines and spirits in select locations. The campaign was developed entirely in-house by an all-female team and rolled out in Ireland, Germany, and the US from October 2021. The plan is for sustained visibility in OOH, social media, and at POS.
