Tiger and Colenso BBDO Easternise Western Bar Snacks with ‘East of What You Know’ Platform

Tiger Bar Snacks have launched at the centre of a new platform, ‘East of What You Know’ via Colenso BBDO.

Tiger Bar Snacks are sustainable bites, selected to match perfectly with Tiger Beer. Launched in five flavours, including garlic grasshoppers, roasted scorpions, peri peri crickets, teriyaki mealworms, and roasted tarantula – they’re a new kind of experience-with-purchase.

Says Dave Brady, creative director at Colenso BBDO: “We wanted to reconnect Kiwi drinkers with a beer that was born on the streets of South East Asia. That’s why Easternising the Western bar snack felt like a natural response, one that demonstrated our attitude towards the unknown in a way that got people talking – and crunching.”

The new platform pays homage to the beer’s Eastern roots through a series of eclectic OOH executions and online video, featuring Eastern tattoo artists, dancers, DJ’s and rappers, shot by Magdalena Wosinska.

Says Sean O’Donnell, marketing director at DB Breweries Ltd: “The campaign not only further emphasises Tiger’s refreshing point of view on the world, but gives our drinkers a new way to truly experience it for themselves. Something a little East of what they know.”
