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
Content to the web site was updated several times a month with media hits, press releases, blog posts, collateral for partners to download, and testimonials.
Point of sale and outreach materials available for download and order on the KCL web site.

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.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media was an integral part of the Keep Colorado Local campaign, encouraging engagement to promote sharing and empowerment of visitors as messengers.
KCL posted original graphics, testimonials, and information on Facebook.

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.
CAMPAIGN COLLATERAL
KCL banners were customized for coalition members around the state to fit in various store locations.
CAMPAIGN COLLATERAL
Bottle hangers, cooler window clings, 6-pack beer inserts, and other point-of-sale collateral were used in liquor stores and breweries around the state to help spread the word about the campaign.
