Where Young Adults Drink

For relaxation

As a pick-me-up

As a refreshment

I like the taste

To get drunk

To socialize with friends

To socialize with family

To socialize with coworkers

Because it’s easy to mix

Because that’s what you do

OBJECTIVES

PREMIUM BRAND POSITIONING

Premium positioning will appeal to more

af!uent and image-conscious buyers

while low price will continue to appeal to

budget-conscious consumers.

NOT JUST FOR COLLEGE KIDS ANYMORE

If Svedka just courts college kids through low

prices and a “go hard” mentality, they’ll lose

customers who have graduated and outgrown

the brand. More sophisticated positioning will

retain college students as they become young

professionals and beyond.

BECOME A NIGHTLIFE STAPLE

Premium brands like Absolut and Grey

Goose enjoy huge on-premise popularity.

With more top-shelf positioning, Svedka

can too. Absolut sales are declining and

Svedka is well-positioned to steal Absolut’s

share of the nightlife market.

CREATIVE

“PREMIUM SWEDISH VODKA”32% of young adults look for words

like “premium” on packaging, yet it’snotably absent from the current bottle.

SHOT GLASS AND GAUGE62% of young adults consume spirits as shots. A lid that doubles as a shot glass, as well as a shot gauge engraved down the side of the bottle, are a fun way to engage with this behavior.

SLEEK DESIGNRather than looking like a bulkytwo liter soda bottle, the newpackaging is sleek, elegant,and sophisticated.

SIMPLE AND UNCLUTTERED68% of young adults want packagingthat is simple and uncluttered, so we

removed unnecessary design elements

New Packaging

Simple, seasonally-appropriate,integrated with everyday life.

THE CAMPAIGN

Good enough for Beacon Hill.Cheap enough for Allston.

Good enough for the penthouse.Cheap enough for the basement.

Good enough for Club Med.Cheap enough for a hostel.

For the smaller space of a taxi topper, a minimal ad variant

mirrors the sleek look of the new packaging.
