About Grain Belt
The Grain Belt brand has changed a lot over the last 125 years. It’s changed owners, breweries, beers and even cities. It’s a classic, but it was getting lost in the cooler among newer beers. So we launched a campaign to help it find new friends by reviving its old motto, The Friendly Beer, and turning that friendly talk into friendly actions.
We kicked off the campaign by taking a typical manifesto video and making it a lot friendlier.
We shared friendly messages on billboards, posters and coasters.
Social content promoted friendly ways of sharing Grain Belt with friends.
Friendly Football
When football season came around, we turned 12-packs into games, bottle caps into players and beer bottles into game pieces to encourage a little friendly competition.
Doubled Social Footprint
