Boo’s Booze 



Challenge
During Covid, our F&B client wanted to tap into the surge in RTD (ready-to-drink) cocktails and at-home social rituals. The brief: create a playful, approachable bubbly, boozy bottled beverage that could cut through isolation fatigue, stand out on shelves, and resonate with a younger audience that craved both fun and quality.

What We Did

  • Concept Development
    Defined the name and brand personality — Boo’s Booze — a cheeky, conversational brand built around the idea of companionship in a bottle.
  • Moodboards & Creative Directions
    Explored three distinct routes:
    • Bright, Blocky, Bold — pattern-heavy, bubble motifs, youthful energy.
    • Refined Minimal — monochrome palettes with foil touches to let the bottles shine.
    • Ugly/Cute — quirky illustration style leaning into the “Boo” persona .
  • Packaging Design
    • Designed bottle labels featuring playful typography, hand-drawn detailing, and all-over bubble patterns.
    • Produced hangtags with witty taglines (“Thinking of you, Boo”) and bold color explorations .
    • Developed 4-pack carriers and dielines, including creative concepts like the “Re-Boozable” mini tote for sustainable reuse.
  • Flavors & Naming
    Crafted flavor names that felt adventurous yet familiar: Pisco Punch, Watermelon Aperol Spritz, Mint Gin Fizz, Brazilian Mule.
  • Activation Concept
    Extended the brand into experiential territory with BYOB — Be Your Own Boo, a mirror installation encouraging self-love and shareable moments, paired with sampling or vouchers.

Impact

  • Rapid Launch in a Pandemic: Brought a full RTD product line from concept to packaging-ready within months, enabling our client to seize the Covid-era at-home drinking trend.
  • Shelf Appeal: Packaging stood out with bold patterns, humor-forward copy, and tactile details that invited interaction.
  • Cultural Resonance: “Boo’s Booze” became both a product and a mood — playful, comforting, and sharable at a time when connection mattered most.
