The campaign was built to drive brand awareness through videos ads to support its market launch. We needed to introduce Pilsner Light to the right people, in the right distribution areas, and with a creative that felt like summer in the Adirondacks.

The CHALlENGE

Consumer demand for lighter beer continues to grow, but many craft drinkers feel forced to choose between flavor and drinkability.

Paradox Brewery had an opportunity to enter the growing light beer category while staying true to its reputation as a lager-focused brewery.

Rather than competing on calories alone, we positioned Pilsner Light around an active Upstate lifestyle, creating a beer that belonged at the lake, campsite, backyard barbecue, and summer concert.

The challenge was to:

✔ Introduce an entirely new product.

Differentiate from national light beer brands.

Build brand awareness within retail distribution markets.

Support wholesale sales efforts.

Execute the launch on a lean budget in coordination with production and sales.

THE WORK

✔ Strategy

Creative rollout

✔ Cross department coordination

✔ Contract Management

✔ Execution of paid media

✔ Sales enablement

✔ Align every touchpoint for release

✔ Increase brand awareness

Rather than creating another brewery-focused commercial, we built a lifestyle campaign centered around summer in Upstate New York.
