Less Talking, Keep Walking
Johnnie Walker
Brand Campaign
2021
After winning the pitch for Johnnie Walker, we got to work on reactivating the brand in the Eastern European market. We found a regional insight that served as the base for our new creative platform: Less Talking, Keep Walking. A motto that inspires action over words and ties in perfectly with the progressive brand character, our featured superstar ambassador Milla Jovovich and, most importantly, the unique Eastern European mentality of not needing the talk to do the walk.

The campaign hero film lands our new direction - Less Talking, Keep Walking - driven by the iconic, powerful Milla Jovovich as she walks forward and shares her story. Shot by Paul SW Anderson, the campaign was activated in 14 countries, each with its own version of the ad where Milla speaks in the local language.
At a regional level, Milla became the symbol of unapologetic progress and determination, kickstarting ‘The Walkers’ movement where relevant heroes from several Eastern European countries told their inspiring, action-over-words stories, making our new-found platform connect at a local level. Here’s a few of them.
Our films, social ads, prints & out of homes made headlines, in a fully 360 degree regional campaign. Our action-packed anthem travelled through Eastern Europe, inspiring people to focus on the doing rather than the talking. A tremendous production between the UK, Netherlands and India, together with MOB Film, MPC, Friday Music and other talented souls. Here’s the behind the scenes.
