The Ogilvy farm has been in existence since 1910 by the Jarron's family when they were using the workhorses. The new methods of farming came and new machinery, but the crops and cattle are raised through the family tenure system. The farm uses solar panels for power and has a micro-distillery. Graeme Jarron is the head of the Ogilvy farm with the help of Caroline the wife. The Ogilvy potato vodka idea came up years ago after Graeme researched together with people from Heriot-Watt University. Since 2014, the Ogilvy farm engaged fully in the brewing potato vodka business and it is a great vodka producer globally. The farms main objective is to be the main and global potato vodka producer. The farm is run as a family business that does not consist of many members in the leadership program.

Excerpt from the Book
Global Marketing Campaign Development
Knowing your market is important since you need to know your market well; this means that you have to localize your communications. Know and understand the context of the working area of Ogilvy Spirits. It is good to know that each country or region has its behaviors, norms, and ways of how communicating with its consumers should be done. Know the reaction of the market to the strategies that you have and how much advantage of getting from the new Russian market.
The creation of a marketing plan is one of those important strategies; this has to be consistent with the local efforts made. Making a marketing plan is important to identify the goals and objectives of the company. It is from here that you will draw up a plan on how you will achieve these goals and objectives. If Ogilvy Spirits introduce its market in Russia, then having a marketing plan will be a priority so that it achieves its goals and objectives. It is good to know that what might have worked well for Ogilvy Spirits in Scotland might not translate well to foreign countries like Russia(Schlegelmilch,2022). Even though their Vodka is made using potatoes it is good to come up with a taste tailor-fitted for the specific Russian audience.
