Bigballs films today announce an original series of short films for Grant’s Whisky. The three
episodes developed for the campaign ‘Stand Together’ star legendary football players Sir Geoff
Hurst, Gordon Banks and Archie Gemmill. In the films, the former international players meet
with players from Chelmsford FC, Sheffield FC and Paisley FC to share their memories, tips and
experience of the game.
The partnership between Bigballs films and Grant’s Whisky comes ahead of a busy summer
for football and will see the brand use video storytelling to bring together football fans across
generations. The episodes will live on the new Grant’s Whisky YouTube channel where the
brand will build and engage with its’ audience around the content. The campaign will also
drive traffic to a new Grant’s microsite on which UK fans aged 18+ can enter a competition to
win exclusive bottles of Grant’s new signature blend. [T&C’s on grantsstandtogether.co.uk/

In the first episode ‘Grant’s and Sir Geoff Hurst #StandTogether’, Sir Geoff Hurst takes a
trip back to Chelmsford City FC, the team his father Charlie played for and where Sir Geoff's
journey in football first began, to learn what was at the core of his success. The film explores
where he came from, and what inspired him to achieve greatness.
