Background

At the start of Covid-19, we wanted to save jobs and utilize existing capacity at Gold Bar while tapping into the surge in ready-to-drink cocktails and at-home social rituals. The mission: create a playful, approachable bubbly, boozy bottled beverage that could cut through isolation fatigue, stand out on shelves, and resonate with a younger audience that craved both fun and quality.

What We Did

Concept Development

Defined the name and brand personality — Boo’s Booze — a cheeky, conversational brand built around the idea of companionship in a bottle.

Moodboards & Creative Directions

Explored three distinct routes:

Bright, Blocky, Bold — pattern-heavy, bubble motifs, youthful energy.

Refined Minimal — monochrome palettes with foil touches to let the bottles shine.

Ugly/Cute — quirky illustration style leaning into the “Boo” persona .

Packaging Design

Designed bottle labels featuring playful typography, hand-drawn detailing, and all-over bubble patterns.

Produced hangtags with witty taglines (“Thinking of you, Boo”) and bold color explorations .

Developed 4-pack carriers and dielines, including creative concepts like the “Re-Boozable” mini tote for sustainable reuse.

Flavors & Naming

Crafted flavor names that felt adventurous yet familiar: Pisco Punch, Watermelon Aperol Spritz, Mint Gin Fizz, Brazilian Mule.

Activation Concept

Extended the brand into experiential territory with BYOB — Be Your Own Boo, a mirror installation encouraging self-love and shareable moments, paired with sampling or vouchers.

Impact

Rapid Launch in a Pandemic: Brought a full RTD product line from concept to packaging-ready within months, enabling our client to seize the Covid-era at-home drinking trend.

Shelf Appeal: Packaging by Oblige Studio stood out with bold patterns, humor-forward copy, and tactile details that invited interaction.

Cultural Resonance: “Boo’s Booze” became both a product and a mood — playful, comforting, and sharable at a time when connection mattered most.
