At a glance
Client: Clan Colla
Industry: Spirits | Irish Whiskey
Services:
-
Clan Colla entered the market as a newly funded whiskey brand with early product and ambition, but lacked brand architecture, visual storytelling, and any structured digital or marketing strategy. They needed to establish a premium Irish whiskey positioned for retail, export, and commercial growth in a highly competitive market.
-
Urban Brand Creative delivered full digital growth solutions — leading brand activation and go-to-market strategy across social, e-commerce, content, and email — supported by photography, videography, and competitor benchmarking to position Clan Colla for commercial launch and scale.
-
Clan Colla launched as a premium Irish whiskey within a fully integrated sales and marketing system — supported by high-performing social campaigns, e-commerce conversion, and trade-ready assets, enabling early-stage sales, brand credibility, and readiness for retail and export markets.
Challenge
A newly launched whiskey brand in a saturated market with no traction, no distribution, and no proven demand — with one shot to get positioning, sales, and market entry right, requiring the right growth partner to execute from day one.
Research & Discovery
Benchmarked premium Irish and global whiskey brands across product, positioning, and digital channels; combined social listening, competitor analysis, and sector experience to shape an authentic and commercially viable go-to-market strategy that would resonate with consumers and retailers alike..
Brand System
Evolved a limited identity into a complete brand system — refining tone, visual direction, and asset consistency to deliver a premium Irish whiskey brand across digital, retail, and point-of-sale touchpoints.
Art Direction
Directed a series of premium shoots across product, cocktails, and distillery environments — creating aspirational, high-end imagery that gave Clan Colla visual weight, presence, and credibility across all touchpoints.
Visual Storytelling
Brought the brand to life across social, web, and campaigns — creating premium, consistent content that built awareness and made Clan Colla feel like a whiskey worth buying.
Responsive Design
Built a mobile-first e-commerce platform with commercial partner portals, gated sales resources, and global-ready functionality — giving Clan Colla a scalable digital storefront built to sell, support partners, and grow across markets.
Outcomes
“II have had the pleasure of collaborating with Keith and his team at Urban Brand Creative. Their insights and expertise have played a significant role in our brand's journey. From bespoke graphic design, sales tool designs, Urban Brand Creative has been indeed creative and hugely successful for us. Their fresh ideas and attention to detail have given our Irish Whiskey the exposure it needed, resonating with our audience and propelling our brand forward. Urban Brand Creative does exactly what it says on the tin - full digital growth solutions!”
