OTHER HALF BREWING
Social Marketing

Photography
Art Direction
Founded in Brooklyn, NY in 2014, this is beer for boundary-pushers, vision makers, and everyone in the “other half” of the industry.

This account has evolved with the ever-changing social media landscape. Our strategy moved Other Half away from static renders, popular in the craft beer world, to product and lifestyle photography. As video became more important, the focus has been on creating reels that explain characteristics of the beer, showcase product in an engaging way, and emphasize the Other Half personality.
