Agave Reimagined

Fresh flavors for new connections: slowing down and sipping a different take on agave with Almave Humo.

Challenge

Following the successful launch of the Almave brand, we set out to extend the narrative of “Beyond Proof” into the new year—with a new expression of the agave plant that’s so central to an actually delicious non-alcoholic tequila. It’s called Humo and is made with Espadin agave harvested from the foot of volcanoes in Puebla, Mexico. Smoky, nuanced, this is the real deal. The goal: keep the energy up around the brand while attracting a new group of people, both the sober-curious getting onboard for Dry January and those who appreciate the sippable details of the mezcal flavor over a more traditional tequila taste.

But, the new year brings a flood of resolutions and marketing clutter. We needed to break through the noise with a message that, like a good cocktail, would be equal parts emotionally resonant and culturally relevant.

Solution

Meet Perpetual Motion—a campaign built around meaningful, elevated connection that never stops. A flavor full of nuance needed sophisticated visuals, from the color of the bottle and the words on the label to how we styled Lewis Hamilton across every photo and frame of video. We brought this to life through three immersive worlds, each with sensorial assets that inspired new ways and moments to introduce and enjoy Almave Humo.

We showed how new flavors can be central to new, deeper connections. The new year isn’t about restrictions. It’s fresh start and an invitation to create. This wasn’t just a campaign; it was a movement—a fresh perspective on N/A spirits that truly goes Beyond Proof.
