Same, Same, But Different: Bringing Unified Uniqueness to the Funky Buddha Line of Beers and Hard Seltzers

Funky Buddha Brewery had a big problem. People loved their beer.

OK, so that doesn’t sound like much of a problem; we get that. Folks enjoyed cracking open a can of their Floridian hefeweizen after a long workday or sitting on a patio and drinking their Hop Gun IPA. The issue, however, was no one was aware those were brewed by Funky Buddha—all anyone knew was they liked the beer.

“From a shelf perspective, the billboarding on both the cans and the six-packs contributed to the busyness of the space,” said Derek Springston. Derek is the chief creative officer and partner at Moxie Sozo, the agency which led the redesign while collaborating with Funky Buddha’s internal team. “Our objective was to create a system that didn’t lose the brand’s personality but was much more effective in communicating that brand recognition.”
