A brand new seltzer from the Full Send guys, up against beverage giants with ten times the budget and alcohol ad rules on top.
The full case
The brand
Launched June 2021 by the creators behind the Full Send Podcast.
1.5M followers and a can that refused to be skinny.
An eighteen-month partnership.
The challenge
Convert followers into customers in the most crowded shelf in beverage.
Keep the irreverent voice inside strict alcohol advertising rules.
Sell beverage and apparel against giants with much bigger budgets.
What I did
I wrote an ad voice that kept the rebellion and stayed inside the rules.
Scripts spoke to what people hate about traditional seltzer.
Targeting went past the NELK audience to real seltzer drinkers, segmented by what they drink, how they live and how they shop.
A testing protocol that optimized for sales today and the brand next year.

7.30 ROAS.
