Croucher Brewery
The taste of discovery, from the home of adventure
Define the problem
After 13 years, it was time to refresh the Croucher look with a theme that reflected who they are and what they stand for. Through customer research we identified that the company’s Rotorua location, and adventurous flavours, were their unique story.
Design the solution
We took inspiration from the glory days of Rotorua’s tourism advertising – creating tongue-in-cheek illustrations as bold as the beer’s flavours. By capturing various iconic locations and activities, each label tells a slightly different story. The logo’s compass shape was carried through to the labels – reflecting the journey of discovery the drinkers go on.
Deliver the experience
As company who are adventurous with their flavours, Croucher knew they were different, they just didn’t know how to translate that difference into their brand. Through deciphering their unique story and creating a look that reflects it, we have given Croucher a strategy for all new flavours going forward.
