The Challenge
Pilsner Urquell has an unrivaled story and heritage, but research revealed that consumers were rejecting the brand due to its ‘challenging’ taste. To stay relevant in a market dominated by niche craft beers, a great story was not enough, we needed to create a purpose.
The Action
We changed the view from seeing the unique taste as the challenge, to positioning it as our greatest strength, and our taste curve provided a way to walk drinkers through the taste journey.
After all, the beer that inspired 90% of the beer in the world should know a thing or two about taste…
Taste became the guiding principle at the heart of every brand engagement, enriched by a proud passion for craft and craftsmanship.
The experience-led activations ensured every engagement delivered a crafted managed encounter, tapster programs ensured quality measures were in place across the board, tank beer outlets provided a unique experience of brewery-fresh beer, and brewers and makers sessions expressed our passion for craftsmanship through partners ranging from artisanal meets to dim sum.
