Tui – I love ads in liquor stores. Yeah right.

Here’s the rub

Tui, New Zealand’s most iconic beer brand, was expanding into RTDs. The problem was that Gen Zs – the biggest RTD buyers – were either too young to know who Tui was, or (even worse) saw Tui as a ‘Dad beer brand’ (cringe!).  

How could we overcome all of these challenges, right at the pointy end of purchase where 67% of sales are actually made?

What we did about it

We challenged the old school rules of instore. We brought Tui’s irreverent brand voice right into stores, had a conversation with our new audience, and made them grin. And we did that over and over again, with messaging that was relevant to each moment throughout the path to purchase. 

By proving that we ‘got’ them, we gave them a reason to buy Tui, without resorting to discounting. 

You can’t make a Tui ad for Gen Z. Yeah right.
