    Entering the crowed DACH spirits market with zero brand awareness, Hibiki needed to reach notoriously hard to reach affluent, design-savvy whisky drinkers

  • Big idea

    With “A Masterpiece of Japanese Harmony” we told a the story of Hibiki as a cultivated blend of Japanese flavor and craft placing it in premium fashion and contemporary art culture, rather than the outdated whisky sea-of-sameness.
