been
on
the
decline
• Beer
consumers
are
becoming
increasingly
experien4al,

• Moosehead
plays
a
unique
role
in

Canada
and
competes
directly
against
major
global
compe44on
• Moose
Light
strategically
launches

annually–
this

defining
the
opportunity
The
challenge
was
crea4ng
an
iden4ty
for
Moosehead’s
new
Summer
product
for
Atlan4c
Canada,
keeping
in
mind
the
following:
• Produce
a
modern,
dynamic
and
interes4ng
packaging
&
POS
design
for
MLR
that
will
appeal
to
the
experien4al
drinker
• Packaging
design
must
leverage
the
equity
and
connec4on
to
Moose
Light,
but
should
also
communicate
the
uniqueness
of
the
product

demographic
and
market
considera4ons,
the
brand
name
“Moose

was
selected
as
the

4tle
• Highly

developed
to
