Lunazul 100% Agave Tequila Unveils New Premium Packaging, Marketing Campaign
BARDSTOWN, Ky. – Lunazul 100% Agave Tequila has a new, premium package reflective of the brand’s quality and heritage. The hot-selling Lunazul now features a refreshed bottle with a cleaner look, cork closure and blown-in elements. With the rollout of the package, Lunazul will debut the “One Sip and You Know” marketing campaign which focuses on the simplicity of the Tequila’s great taste.
The estate grown, distilled and bottled Lunazul is among the finest 100% Agave Tequilas in the category. At the 2015 Ultimate Beverage Challenge, three of the four Lunazul varieties (Blanco, Reposado and Anejo) earned the prestigious “Finalist” designation in their respective age groups (all earning 92 points or higher). The packaging is designed to highlight the award-winning Tequila inside and simplify the overall look.
In addition to the Lunazul bottle, a cleaner label design presents the Tequila’s hallmark black label trimmed with bright, crisp colors accented by a blow-in of the Lunazul wolf and a premium cork closure.
The Lunazul package redesign is augmented by a new marketing campaign which underscores the simplicity of the decision to drink Lunazul Tequila, “One Sip and You Know.” Cutting through the clutter of the Tequila category and the myriad complicated messages, Lunazul is a standout for its unique heritage, production process and commitment to quality. The straightforward campaign, however, champions the award-winning flavor of Lunazul suggesting, “Let’s Not Complicate Things.”
The campaign will kick off with a Thrillist partnership that features digital advertising and a summer sweepstakes alongside additional digital, social and trade advertising. Plus, all web presence, on- and off-premise POS and local market activations will reflect the transition to the new campaign.
“This beautiful package update and campaign will contribute immensely to the next stage of growth for Lunazul,” said Reid M. Hafer, Senior Brand Manager for Lunazul Tequila. “The product was a market innovator upon initial release has grown double digits each year for the past five years. The foundation for its success is built and a bright future is ahead with this package and campaign.”
