Brief Explanation

The latest iteration of Johnnie Walker’s Keep Walking campaign enriches the brand message with a focus on Gamechangers - people exemplifying the Keep Walking spirit who have achieved extraordinary success. In Thailand, the legendary Rewat Buddhinan is hero-ed. Rewat is the famed founder of GMM Grammy, Thailand’s largest entertainment company. The former musician and icon was also a respected mentor to many successful Thai artists before he died at age 48, and is considered to have ushered in a new era in the Thai music industry. In a country where the cultural norm is to not challenge the status quo, Rewat’s creative spirit establish him firmly as a true game changer. Using revolutionary CGI technology, the film brings Rewat to life. Scores of animators studied interviews and photographs to ensure a perfect, life-like result. Rewat speaks passionately of his ‘Keep Walking’ spirit. Always trusting his intuition, he pursued his dreams with conviction to great success. He urges a new generation of Thais to follow in his footsteps and start living their dreams. A powerful and emotionally charged musical score builds with his rousing words, and crescendos as he issues an inspirational final challenge: “Are you ready to live your dream?”
