Seltzer on the Strand
Seltzer on the Strand
We had the pleasure of working with premium hard seltzer brand Lot 42 to deliver the best “un-official” party of London Pride 2022.
Key objectives:
- Sample 20,000 Lot 42 cans
- Officially launch a delicious new flavour, Gooseberry & Apple
- Drive awareness amongst the target demographic
- Provide a positive and safe space for everyone to immerse themselves in the epic celebration that is London Pride
Experience
We focused our strategy on two main types of activation:
Experiential
Lot 42 founders Dale and Chris have an ambition of creating positive spaces of self-expression and acceptance – whether that’s in nature, a nightclub, a festival or at home with old friends and new. That is why it was so important for us to design an experiential activation where everyone was welcome, regardless of their gender, race, culture or sexual orientation – a safe and fun space for everyone to be their authentic selves.
Lot 42 has a strong connection to nature as founders Chris and Dale often tour Europe in their campervan and on-the-road home, Bruce – along with four pawed friend Max. We brought nature to Charing Cross station through an impressive tree made from reclaimed wooden pallets and of course, it wouldn’t be Pride without adding mini disco balls and Lot 42 cans that sparkled beautifully in the midday sun.
Camper van Bruce was there as the backdrop to world-renowned DJs that performed throughout the day, and we welcomed famous drag-queen, Veronica Green who dazzled in a green sequined number, whilst sipping on the new delicious Gooseberry and Apple seltzer.
Mass distribution activity
We created sampling bins that replicated the Lot 42 cans which not only allowed us to sample in volume but also raise brand awareness in a high footfall area where parade goers where more than happy to stop and chat about the product.
We ensured we hired a diverse and confident team who got into the spirit by sporting Pride bandanas and biodegradable face glitter.
Research
We built in an online research mechanic via a QR code with a ‘win’ incentive. The prize was 2x general camping tickets to the wildly popular Wilderness Festival. Consumers scanned the QR code on their smartphone and were taken to a short set of questions set by founders Chris and Dale – with our expert guidance, providing vital consumer insight and purchasing behaviours.
