︎ Where we were. We were in the process of branding a new premium sipping rum set to launch soon.

︎Where we wanted to be. Gracias Madre aimed to redefine rum by distancing itself from the traditionally masculine, naval-themed perceptions of the spirit. Their goal was to become recognized as a gender-inclusive specialty sipping spirit.


︎ How we’d get there. Our research and analysis of consumer behavior, stakeholder constraints, and market demands pinpointed the ideal niche for the brand to capture attention and stand out on bar shelves.

We crafted a fantastical environment for the dark sipping rum, characterized by an illustrative style and enchanted storytelling.

Specialty printing techniques allowed the brand to make a lasting impression at international trade fairs and competitions. Plus, custom-designed digital marketing and sales materials helped to amplify and scale communications effectively.
