The Famous Grouse welcomes visitors to 'Grouse Country' in year-long marketing campaign

Running throughout the PGA Championship, the South Africa v Scotland Rugby International and next year’s Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup, the campaign will be visible to domestic and international passengers travelling through Edinburgh International Airport.

A partnership with World Duty Free Group also sees sampling activity in a bid to drive deeper engagement with travellers. An interactive zone also allows for passengers to have their picture taken beside various Scottish landmarks, giving them the chance to ‘Be Part of Something Famous’, with participants entered into a competition for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip back to Scotland.

“In the next 12 months visitors will flock from near and far to Scotland’s beautiful capital city. This campaign will leave every single one of those visitors under no illusion that they have entered The Famous Grouse territory. We’re about to enter a milestone year for Scottish tourism and we’re ready to seize the moment and celebrate by staking a claim to our own home turf,” remarked Peter Sandstrom, marketing director, Maxxium UK.
