The Start of Something Great

Anchor brewing co.

Anchor Brewing Co. has been in San Francisco for over 100 years and they’ve got a story to tell. They’ve made it through prohibition, several historic earthquakes, and they’re America’s (and California’s) first craft brewery. But ask around any trendy SF bar, and you won’t find many people that know who they really are - San Francisco’s Original beer. We set out to reclaim their position as SF’s beer by celebrating the city itself and what makes it so unique - the neighborhoods.

CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW

Neighborhood pride runs deep across the city and we set out to capitalize on that. We partnered with a SF local artist to create limited edition, neighborhood-centric artwork, along with on premise and digital activations to celebrate Anchor’s connection to San Francisco and its people. The month long campaign culminated with an Anchor-sponsored block party with food and drink from different SF neighborhoods, and a live vote for what neighborhood the people want to see featured next!

We partnered with SF local artist, Amos Goldbaum to create limited edition artwork of Russian Hill, in his distinct line work style, that was the primary visual driver of the campaign.

DIGITAL ACTIVATION

All on premise materials encouraged viewers to visit anchoredinsf.com, where they could learn more about the campaign, RSVP to the party, and vote for which neighborhood they’d like to see featured next. Simultaneously, a social campaign was driving viewers to the same campaign site ensuring that interactions with the campaign were consistent at all touchpoints.

See the resemblance? Before the earthquake the original Anchor Brewery lived on the corner of Polk/Pacific - present day Reliable Auto Body. We're loving this '72 VW Bug, thanks for letting us revisit our roots!
