BACKGROUND

Tuborg has been the party beer of the 90’s and early 2000’s but in the last two decades their brand image has faded.

Our goal? Turn into the GenZ party brand by changing the way they speak and their whole aesthetic.

APPROACH & IDEA

GenZ are all about vibe and authenticity.

To earn some much-needed street cred, we teamed up with the underground fashion label NELEPA for a limited-edition merch collab that doubled as an exclusive entry pass to the hottest parties at one of Sofia’s most iconic clubs – DOM.

We launched the drop with a bold visual campaign across videos, posters, and digital assets – all featuring recognizable urban faces that Gen Z already followed and trusted.

To take the hype to the next level, we planted a handful of tees in unexpected spots across Sofia – from the Malashevtsi flea market and second-hand shops, to Kristal Garden and a small hardware store.

We even snuck a few into OLX listings, turning the search for merch into an urban scavenger hunt.
