CHIVAS REGAL LAUNCHES NEW GLOBAL LIVE WITH CHIVALRY TVC – Scotch Whisky News

chivas-logo

Introduced in 2008, the high-profile campaign has already struck a chord with consumers in more than 60 markets, inspiring people the world over to live their lives in a chivalrous way.

The new campaign further strengthens this emotional connection between Chivas Regal and its contemporary consumers, demonstrating the ripple effect our everyday actions have – both good and bad.

Directed by the award-winning Jeff Labbé, the commercial highlights the positive impact the right attitude can have, with both 30 and 60 second versions demonstrating how one simple, chivalrous act can break a cycle of negativity.

The campaign, which has commenced activation in Europe, aims to salute those who bring an extraordinary attitude to their ordinary actions, inspiring others to ‘Live with Chivalry’.

Global Brand Director for Chivas Regal, James Slack says: “Since the campaign first launched in 2008, we have been inspiring people the world over to ‘Live with Chivalry’. The latest instalment will build on this by demonstrating the impact of gentlemanly behaviour, something we want to resonate with our audience.”
