Granddad Jack’s Distillery is an Australian family-owned and operated distillery creating draft spirits and liqueurs. Since 2017, its unique business model, alongside product and team accolades and awards, have ensured the brand is well-known in the industry and a key player among consumers.
By way of our PR partnership, Granddad Jack’s story was featured in several mainstream and industry-specific media outlets, solidifying the company as an industry leader.
Before partnering with Elevate, the Granddad Jack’s brand had grown organically. Collectively, we identified several PR opportunities to expand brand awareness and help cement Granddad Jack’s position within the industry. Elevate was given the opportunity to bring the rich history and strong brand narrative behind Granddad Jack’s to life.
Collectively, we identified three proactive PR campaigns aimed at generating awareness of the Granddad Jack’s brand; positioning the brand as a leader and passionate champion for craft distilling and artisan production, and to build relationships with media and leverage those relationships to generate positive brand exposure.
