Global alcohol manufacturers pay attention not only to the amount of drinks they sell, but to responsible drinking as well. One of them, AB InBev UK, has initiated a study, conducted by Populus and Mumsnet, to reveal what influences young people’s attitudes to drinking and what they consider the most reliable source of information when it comes to talks about alcohol. The study revealed, that young people in the UK believe parents educate them better on the alcohol consumption issue than teachers or even health advisers (31% compared to 9% and 9% respectively)—but it’s better for them to source advice from other parents (37%), shared through a website (82%). To encourage the talk, AB InBev UK launched a new project dubbed Family Talk UK on the Facebook platform, where parents of teens are able to get advice related to the theme.
Pearlfisher has created the brand identity, tone of voice and name for Wyld Wood Premium Organic cider from Westons Cider. Westons Wyld Wood is the new brand name for Westons Premium Organic cider. Made from organic apples and pears, Wlyd Wood is a delicious premium organic cider. The new name emphasises the cider’s organic and natural quality and references the orchards in which the apples and pears are grown. The name helps to draw the consumer into the brand’s provenance and the ‘Y’ in ‘Wyld’ is a reference to the Wye Valley, which is at the heat of the cider industry.
