RESEARCH ABSTRACT: It was really important to find a way that would allow the product to be linked to Mexico. That's the direction the agency's specialists have taken while researching the project, exploring the visual aspects of the country's culture and trying to incorporate them into a viable design.
CHALLENGE: While working on this project the agency's specialists had to consider the special attitude towards tequila, especially among the people making up the target audience. It's a drink for those, who desire vivid experiences and tickling emotions, a drink for bold and brave. Taking this perception of the product into account, the specialists have created a design concept based on the style of the Mexican death cult and its recognizable aesthetics.
