Raising a glass to cider
Lg2 helps the Cidre du Quebec celebrate the yummy apple-based bevvie.
In recent years the cider market in most of Canada has gotten hotter than a Quebec summer day.
The delish beverage best sipped ice-old on a towel (like the one from Cidre du Québec below) on a beach somewhere, IMHO, has become popular particularly among millennial and Gen Z women looking for gluten-free, low-cal libations.
Yet the apple-based bevvie “remains relatively unknown to Quebecers compared to the rest of Canada,” says a case study by Lg2. So, for the Producteurs de cidre du Québec, Cidre du Québec teamed up with the agency on a rebrand so visually yummy you want to sip it up – just like an ice-cold cider.
The association, which was founded in 1992 to help Quebec cider producers promote its products in La Belle Province, opted for a chic update in a bid to appeal to modern consumers. The refreshing visual rebrand features bright colours and fun visuals, from hot-air balloons to red-hot matchsticks.
Our fave? The flamingo-pink tote bags that can be used to tote what else? Cans of cider that can be sipped al fresco on the beach, let’s say “à votre santé” to that.
