Sans Drinks: Repositioning a Non-Alcoholic Retailer as a Lifestyle Brand
Shifting a fast-growing non-alcoholic retailer away from discount-led communication towards a lifestyle-focused brand built around modern drinking occasions.
Overview
Sans Drinks wanted to move beyond being recognised purely as an online retailer. The objective was to position the brand as a destination for alcohol-free living through richer storytelling, educational content, social campaigns, product content and website messaging.
The strategy focused on making alcohol-free drinks feel aspirational, social and enjoyable rather than simply alternatives to alcohol.
The challenge
Competing primarily on promotions can weaken long-term brand perception.
The challenge was building emotional value around the category while educating customers about unfamiliar products and encouraging repeat engagement beyond promotional periods.
