Glenfiddich grew to one million cases by evolving its craft message from one of respect to desirability and proprietary emotion. As a craft brand, Glenfiddich initially focused on respect for its ingredients and uniqueness, but to scale, it changed its story to one of desire and linking its scotch to an adventurous emotional state. The lesson is that craft brands can organically expand by evolving their intrinsic truths to evoke a deeper emotional connection with consumers as the brand grows beyond its original niche.
