the challenge

appealing to a new generation of beer lovers

The beer brand Brand faced a challenge: how do you appeal to a younger target audience (25-35 years old) in a region where market share is under pressure?

In a time when artisanal brewers and trendy craft beers are becoming increasingly popular, Brand had to showcase its craftsmanship and tradition to beer enthusiasts in a striking and relevant way. The goal? To reposition Brand as the beer brand for craftsmanship and beer experience. Not just a drink, but an entire story.

the strategy

authentic stories and entertaining content

Although Brand is known for its high-quality pilsner, their target audience wanted more. More stories, more experiences, and more inspiration around beer. Research revealed that over 60% of beer enthusiasts watch videos before trying a new beer. But how do you translate complex brewing techniques and rich history into content that’s both fun and engaging?

The series takes viewers into the world of Brand’s brewery, where influencers such as cyclist Tom Dumoulin, chef Perry de Man, and actress Barbara Sloesen compete for the title of ‘Brand Brewmaster.’ Through a mix of educational videos, humor, and local involvement, Brand’s centuries-old tradition was showcased in a fresh and exciting way.

In addition to longer episodes, we also focused on YouTube Shorts and social media. Short, powerful clips ensured we grabbed and held the audience’s attention instantly. The media plan targeted the go-to places for beer enthusiasts; with smart targeting on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, our content reached the right people at just the right time.
