Johnnie Walker: The Manly Way to Wish Loved Ones a Merry Xmas

By Michael Musco 

The tagline says it best, “Say it without saying it.” Men are too macho to show their feelings toward one another in public or arguably in general. I don’t know, it’s just the way we are.

BBH NY does a clever job of exploiting this truth, poking fun at it and in the end the agency produced a campaign to be proud of. Any man who gives another man a bottle of Johnnie Blue has some kind of  motive which is very well depicted in this campaign when the son-in-law presents his father-in-law with a bottle in a desperate attempt to gain the latter’s acceptance. It’s no award-winning, Robert Carlyle-narrated effort but everyone has to pay their Christmas dues. Check out the second spot in the campaign after the jump.
