RADEGAST & launch of new Radegast Rázná 10 beer
How to successfully launch a new 10-degree beer when the entire sales segment is shrinking?
We found ourselves in a situation where the entire 10-degree beer segment has shrunk and Radegast’s share was down from 3.2% to 2%. The reason was the onslaught from 11-degree beers, special beers and various beer/lemonade hybrids (flavoured beers).
But the Radegast brand’s attitude was uncompromising – we have a fantastic ‘Ryze hořká’ 12-degree beer and an excellent 10-degree beer, and we don’t want anything in between. That is why we at Boomerang prepared the creative concept of ‘Uncompromising bitter refreshment’ and the name for the new 10-degree beer: Rázná 10 (‘Spirited 10’). This spirited attitude was then represented in various executions (from TVC to Facebook). The creative solution was a perfect fit with the brand concept and followed up the existing communication image. It’s too soon to judge the results, but the sales team is delighted.
