Johnnie Walker launched a WebAR experience for its two new limited edition Scotch Whiskies which celebrate the critically acclaimed HBO® series, Game of Thrones. Bottles of Johnnie Walker A Song of Ice and A Song of Fire are activated as image targets to reveal 3D characters from the show which burst to life out of the packaging.

A Song of Ice is inspired by House Stark of the North, and when scanned with a smartphone it summons the iconic Direwolf. A Song of Fire represents the fierce House of Targaryen, and it sparks the Dragon to make a smokey entrance. Created by agencies AnalogFolk and Unit9 using 8th Wall, the two unique activations embody the “crisp” and “spicy” characteristics of their respective whiskies, while being true to the Game of Thrones brand.
