Jägermeister won’t solve all problems, but it might inspire a creative solution. The legendary herbal liqueur is no longer just a hunters’ festive drink but the sponsor of music awards and metropolitan parties, as well as a trendsetter in alcohol fashion.
We used visual elements as the core of the collaboration. The familiar label with a deer with a shining cross between its antlers is a reference to the legend of St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. We decided to reinvent it by replacing the deer with a tiger, the symbol of our creative group, and the name with Tigermeister. The content remains the same: a 56-ingredient recipe created in the town of Wolfenbüttel, the sheer name of which sounds like alcohol being poured into a shot glass.
We released a total of 500 bottles — so fashionable and rare that people started a hunt for them.
300 bottles of Tigermeister were consumed on New Year’s Eve, and we left another 200 for the Orthodox Christmas holiday in January.
