The Objective

The Objective

Give Free AF a brand platform that made choosing a drink without alcohol feel confident, social and personal.

The Insight

People skip alcohol for all sorts of reasons. A single promise couldn’t cover them, so the platform used a cast of recognisable personalities and occasions instead.

The Execution

The Execution

Brand strategy shaped with Claire Bradbourne, then creator content, paid social, OOH takeovers and TikTok taste reactions, with the social and brand channels run day to day: one idea built to work across retail, digital and experiential.
