Colorado Day with State 38

Colorado became the 38th state on August 1, 1876, and State 38 Distilling in Golden, Colorado, has always leaned heavily into its Colorado roots. It was only natural that the brand marked the occasion with a limited-release bottle, featuring artwork from a local artist and a barrel proof whiskey. We helped the distillery bring the promotion to life, from label design to PR coverage in KDVR, 5280 Magazine, Westword, and more. We also invited influencers in to help us spread the word about the new package. The result was a record sales weekend for the distillery and expanded awareness of the parent brand.

If you’re interested in generating buzz for your brand, set up some time to talk!
