(1 July 2022, Singapore) Diageo Global Travel has launched an omnichannel activation for Johnnie Walker Blue Label in Changi Airport, Singapore, the first in Asia Pacific.
Passengers are invited to immerse themselves in the luxury world of Johnnie Walker Blue Label to discover the unrivalled depth of flavour this iconic brand has to offer. The exciting new concept from the world’s #1 whisky brand in travel retail kicks off with a special event hosted by the Diageo Global Travel team alongside partners from Changi Airport Group (CAG) and Lotte Group, marking the first official opening of this stunning new experiential hub in APAC, located in Changi Airport, Terminal 3.
Shoppers have the opportunity to discover the flavours of this exceptional whisky at a bespoke sampling bar and product discovery area, which offers an immersive and multi-sensory experience, aided by LCD back-wall displays and surround sound headphones. Travellers can also check out the gifting station which offers a hand-crafted personalisation experience producing bespoke gift wrapping and customised luggage tags, positioning Johnnie Walker as the perfect present to meet shoppers’ gifting needs in the travel retail channel.
The Johnnie Walker Blue Label pop-up will be supported by an omnichannel campaign, where passengers get a personalised experience throughout their journey, from pre-travel to destination.
Passengers at Changi Airport will be offered the opportunity to pre-order the bottle on iShopChangi.com before they fly. Upon confirmation, they will be presented with the option to collect the purchase at the iShopChangi Collection Centre when they depart.
A media campaign on digital screens in T3 arrivals and departures went live on 30 June to keep passengers updated of the new offering as they make their journey through the airport.
