Merrydown Cider 2015-2017

Makalu creates advertising, digital, social and promotional activity for Merrydown cider and has helped the brand to reinvent itself in response to the changing drinks market. “Delightfully delicious” ran for over three years and featured a quirky fox character and fun copy (all illustrations created in-house by us).

Social Media Campaign

We created (and managed) social posts that playfully used the brand’s fox character, adapting his outfits and the scene to fit the theme of the post. Where possible we tried to keep him in his original pose to add to the humour.
