BRAND NEWS:“MADE AT -2.5°C” – THE CASTLE LITE STORY


Castle Lite, the fastest growing premium beer brand in South Africa, has launched an extraordinary marketing campaign unlike any of its previous initiatives, aimed at educating consumers about the intrinsic benefits of the beer and its superior taste.

It’s no secret that Castle Lite is always served extra cold and, whilst the full recipe is kept under lock and key, the Brand’s latest campaign reveals a few secrets on how it locks in that great tasting, extra cold refreshment.

Whilst other beers in the SAB stable are matured at -2 degrees, a critical part of the multiple-stage process, Castle Lite is uniquely matured at -2.5 degrees which primarily precipitates any haze causing substances and, secondly, ‘settles’ the flavours ensuring a consistent tasting and clear looking, ‘bright’ beer. This unique sub-zero lagering process ensures that the full flavour of Castle Lite is locked in, delivering the extra cold refreshment for which the beer and Brand has become renowned for.

Castle Lite created a fresh new TV commercial to officially launch the campaign. The commercial gives consumers a glimpse into the Castle Lite brewery and shares the story of how the beer is made, in an extraordinary way that only Castle Lite can achieve: premium, innovative, unexpected, and fun.  The über-talented creatives at Ogilvy & Mather Cape Town were the masterminds behind the 30-second ad, which features UK based actor and choreographer Sep Dashti unlocking his dubstep moves in the brewery, on a custom-created extra cold set at the old Bus Factory (now called Market Lab) in Newtown, Johannesburg.


Well-known actress and choreographer Lorcia Cooper was responsible for coordinating the various chill-inspired dance moves seen in the ad. “The most interesting part of the ad for me was the use of dance to tell the story of an electric-like feeling or shiver through the body at the touch of the bottle. It gave space for the dancers to really explore movement though dubstep,” Cooper remarks. However, it was film director Chloe Coetsee who brought it all together and made the final call on what dance moves would make the final cut.  “Castle Lite is a premium brand and we wanted to create a premium end product that would complement the brand.  The whole dupstepping angle was also fun to work with; dance is a happy language. Creating the super slick frozen brewery as the backdrop also made this a very exciting project to work on,” explained Coetsee. Take a look at it here: 
Castle Lite also gave consumers the opportunity to get involved and showcase their very own extra cold moves, through a unique and innovative activation experience combining point of sale elements, promotion, trial, digital components and social media.  As part of their “Made at -2.5°C” campaign, Castle Lite dramatised the great taste experience of unlocking extra cold refreshment through interactive in-store and mobile Castle Lite booths, featuring a dubstep video game to be played and shared on Facebook, via Bluetooth or email, for the chance to win Castle Lite 8-packs weekly and the perfect innovation to keep those beers extra cold, a Castle Lite LED Cooler box.
