Discovery, delight and dynamism — essential ingredients for brands wanting to stay culturally sharp and emotionally resonant. Working within India’s fast-moving beer and FMCG market, Kingfisher spotted a bold opportunity to lead the category with something the country hadn’t seen before: flavoured beer. They came to us to shape their first foray, from product innovation and brand strategy through to shelf.

Our Approach
We started on the ground, getting close to consumer behaviour and cultural cues. Through consumer safaris, semiotic research and collaborative innovation workshops, we unpacked what flavour could truly mean for Kingfisher. This consumer-led innovation process took us to two refreshing directions inspired by local street-food favourites, each reimagined with a uniquely Kingfisher twist.
The Work
We created a bold range identity that captured the energy of India’s vibrant street culture. The beer packaging design was layered with personality: bespoke typography, playful iconography and gritty street textures.
The iconic Kingfisher red shield remained front and centre, protecting brand recognition while introducing a stronger sense of fun, flavour and freshness. Colourful illustrations and expressive design details brought the street to life across every pack, creating a distinctive system for the new flavoured beer range.
The Outcome
From first insight to final execution, every step was infused with the rhythm of the street. Kingfisher Street Flavours launched as a vibrant, culturally rooted expression of beverage innovation that remained true to the brand’s DNA.
The result was a bold new direction combining flavour, familiarity and unmistakable shelf presence – extending an established beer brand into new territory with relevance and confidence.
