Shiner Launches New-look Light Blonde with Texas flair

Shiner beer, an independently brewed Texas beer, has gained national success due to its heritage. However, things have changed in Texas recently. Research showed that Texas has an increasing number of expats from other states, leading to many of the brand's target audience not even realizing that Shiner was born and brewed in Texas. In response, the Austin-based agency, Bakery, created a new brand push strategy for Shiner. This includes a complete redesign for the brewery's flagship light beer, doubling down on its Texas heritage. The plan is to increase spending in Texas and launch a national media buy to regain its home-field advantage.
Entitled “Texas Does Light,” this new campaign features three 30-second spots made for those who really know how to do Texas.
“Packed full of flavor yet impossibly light, Shiner Light Blonde is the perfect example of something every Texan understands - we don’t do mediocre,” said Nick Weiland, Brand Director at Shiner Beer. “This campaign and the new look for the line is overflowing with Texas pride, and we think the work from Bakery does an amazing job celebrating what makes Shiner Light Blonde and Texas so special.”
In “Shindig,” a woman grabs a case of Shiner Light Blonde from the convenience store: four cases of giddy up. She pulls on her bedazzled cowgirl boot: 18 pairs of party boots. Her first generation iPod has 300 King George songs ready to play. But, she has two exes from Texas and 47 unwanted guests: mosquitos enjoying their own Shiner Blonde. It’s one perfect night and tastes like Texasssss.
