Going global with Sydney’s premium lager

Sydney Beer Co. was established with a simple purpose: to produce Sydney’s Premium Lager. A beer Sydneysiders would be proud to call their own. Since 2016 Sydney Beer Co. have been fuelled by a belief that their iconic city deserved a locally owned Premium Lager as an alternative to the mainstream Asian and European brands that dominate the market.

The Brief

Give the brand a premium appeal, targeted initially at the discerning demographic of trendy consumers in Sydney, and then at a global audience, riding the wave of aspirational living associated with the city and it’s culture. With the imminent launch of new products in the range, we needed to arm the brand with tools to cement it’s premium positioning and capture the essence of Sydney.
