Chivas selects McCann for premium brand

BANGKOK - Chivas Regal has awarded the integrated advertising account for its 100 Pipers Malt premium whisky brand in Thailand to McCann WorldGroup.

The Interpublic agency wrested the businesss from TBWA, which handles sister brand 100 Pipers, without a pitch thanks to its relationship with another Chivas Regal-aligned brand Masterblend.

The brief will involve events, brand activation and sales promotion works as well as conventional advertising. Thailand is the world's sixth largest scotch whisky-drinking market.
