Founded in 1994, Kona grew to become Hawaiis #1 craft brewery. As Kona expanded its Hawaiian identity pitted it against the likes of Corona. We turned to Konas roots knowing authenticity would be key to winning at shelf. What we discovered was the thing we Mainlanders need to live but fail to dobreathe. We used this to inspire Mainlanders to connect with what matters in life, and to do so over a Kona. A wild success in test markets, the campaign delivered unprecedented business results and Corona-crushing ad scores.
