Central Theme & Rationale
Having recently rebranded, Woodchuck needed an ownable marketing platform to stand out. By leveraging both existing and new assets we created a central theme that could grow with the brand while giving shoppers a consistent experience.
That central theme was translated into physical marketing materials for shoppers to engage with at grocery stores and bars alike. The above communication hierarchy allows us to lead with core brand messaging while reinforcing a purchase decision with product-specific education.
A custom set of in-bar materials that elevate the Woodchuck brand.
