BRAND STRATEGY CONSULTING TO THE SPIRITS INDUSTRY
We work with some of the world’s best-known spirits brands (and some lesser-known gems too) to help them develop new products, position their brand stories and hone their brand language.
BRAND MATTERS
Our mission is to ‘raise spirits’ : both through our characteristically assured approach to brand building and our evangelical desire to share, inform and inspire. Our intimate knowledge of and passion for the industry, coupled with an enviable pedigree in brand and marketing means that we are perfectly positioned to help you find and tell your brand story. And tell it in a manner that both resonates with your audience and supports your business ambitions.
“Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.” I wish I’d said that! I didn’t; it was Jeff Bezos. He’s right, though: a brand is so much more than a logo – and for it to work hard for your business it needs a strategy, it needs deep understanding and it needs clear and truthful messaging. It might need GreatDrams Consulting.

“Greg is one of the guys you meet who starts to tell you his story…but you actually listen, because it’s damn interesting. In terms of journalistic whisky knowledge, he is spot on. In terms of whisky drinking, second to none. I’d happily have him write something about whisky that I’d be captivated by as share a dram at the bar with him and not want to leave”
