Building On The ‘Spice On’ Campaign
The design features a bold color palette and the addition of a dynamic and expressive gold brush stroke that reflects the golden spice and smoothness of the drink. The new pack also includes a refreshed version of the brand’s Captain icon, maintaining recognizability while allowing the liquid to shine through as the hero. Samori Gambrah, Global Brand Director of Captain Morgan, said: “This new pack design heroes the delicious spice of our liquid and character as a brand. It will allow us the flexibility we need to show up in a dynamic way in our sponsorships, live events, collaborations, and packaging around the world. This launch comes at an exciting time of transformation for Captain Morgan, as we evolve how we communicate with our consumers.”
The brand appointed creative agency Bulletproof to design the new packaging. Jo Smith, Global design lead for Captain Morgan, said: “We wanted to create a fresher, more dynamic design that puts taste and flavour at the forefront. On our journey towards Captain Morgan’s new global brand world, we enlisted the help of creative agency Bulletproof, who captured the essence of the brand with the final pack we see today.”
Adds Tony Connor, Executive Creative Director at Bulletproof: “Our design plays on what people love most about Captain Morgan – its versatility and deliciousness. We developed new brand assets and an architecture that has the opportunity for more liquid storytelling, while anchoring in the strong equity the brand has built over time. We’ve given the brand the freedom and flexibility to show up in bold and exciting ways, bringing spice to new occasions and consumers.’
