The campaign was created by Monster Children.
For the first time since its inception 12 years ago, 4 Pines Brewing Co has launched a campaign designed to forge a deeper connection with the brand’s customer base.
Created and produced by Monster Children Creative, with illustrations by Tim Waters, the campaign is built around the platform Welcome to 4 Pines and features real characters from the brewery whose unique personal contributions to the brand are woven into the 4 Pines ethos.
The ads celebrate three unique 4 Pines characters - part-time beer whisperer and full-time beer educator Sarah, local delivery driver and footy legend Mitch, and 4 Pines resident vibe consultant Duan, who has been bringing his melodic tunes to the brewery for years.
"Sharing such an authentic message with our audience on a massive scale has the whole brewery bloody excited," 4 Pines marketing manager Tom Wallage says.
“The new spots by our mate at Monster Children shed light on the most important ingredients in this incredible journey… real characters, good beer, and a bit of banter."
Monster Children Creative creative director Matt Pike says developing the campaign was an enjoyable challenge.
“4 Pines is a brand that doesn’t mind doing things differently, so we created a hybrid universe that allowed their real talents to shine," Pike says.
Every beer seen in the ad is proudly part of 1% for the Planet. As part of this initiative 4 Pines will give 1% of revenue to Take 3 for the Sea, Landcare Australia, and Organic Matters Foundation as part of a commitment to be Brewed Better.
The campaign will be brought to life across Fox Sports, digital, and out of home.
