When it comes to innovative marketing campaigns and immersive consumer engagement, Glenlivet SA is in a league of its own. So it was with great excitement that we partnered once again with Pernod Ricard SA to bring their #GlenlivetSensorialSummerSeries to life.

Hosted by the charismatic Sinako “Snakes” Dunywa, the series unfolded at some of KZN’s most celebrated venues — Big Fish Umhlanga, Butlers Hillcrest, Chef’s Table, and Fire & Vine Pietermaritzburg. Each setting offered the perfect stage for Glenlivet’s heritage of craftsmanship and contemporary spirit.

Our brief was to design a tablescape that would indulge the senses, highlighting the tasting notes of the Glenlivet collection. We layered the décor with fresh fruit, vanilla and malt-scented candles, textured napkins, and floral arrangements intertwined with botanicals — carefully curated by Simply Bliss.

A standout moment was the printed sugar biscuit with a custom Spotify wave, which transported guests to a curated playlist featuring both local and international artists, blended with the sounds of the Scottish Highlands in tribute to Glenlivet’s legacy. Paired with fine desserts from each host restaurant, it was an experience that married taste, sound, and storytelling.

Adding glamour to the evening, By Simone Collection styled Sinako and the brand ambassadors in dazzling looks that elevated the atmosphere and delivered picture-perfect Instagram moments.

Our thanks to the staff at each venue for their seamless execution, and to Lindo of Lindt Photography for capturing the sensory magic of the series.
