KEEP COLORADO LOCAO DIGITAL AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH CAMPAIGN

KEEP COLORADO LOCAL CAMPAIGN

Client: Keep Colorado Local

Date: April 2015 – April 2016

Project: OnSight partnered with a coalition of independent liquor stores, craft breweries, and other stakeholders to build the Keep Colorado Local coalition to raise awareness about anticipated ballot initiatives from big-box retailers who wanted to change Colorado law to be able to sell full-strength beer and wine in multiple grocery and convenience stores. The campaign included stakeholder outreach, PR, a web site, collateral materials, email list, and social media management.

LOGO

Logo for the campaign was bright and contemporary, and easily adjusted for different applications.

WEB SITE

The goal of the web site was to design and implement a system to create an online community in support of the Colorado craft beer and spirits culture. The site was focused more on what makes Colorado and its craft brewing/distilling culture such a great place.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

OnSight organized a collaboration brewing project called the Keep Colorado LocALE. This project allowed brewers to work together around the state and featured Colorado-grown ingredients. The campaign had several social media contests around the release of the beer (including coming up with a tag-line) that allowed us to increase social engagement and awareness.

CAMPAIGN COLLATERAL

We produced a variety of collateral materials for presentations, partners and point-of-sale in local businesses. Standard boxed sets of liquor store collateral were sold at cost to coalition partners by way of a custom-built sales “portal”. In addition, banners, tshirts, posters, presentation decks, one-pagers, and other materials were customized on request.
