The Best Beverage Agency for Brands Ready to Disrupt
Agency Squid: Brand Builders Behind the Most Iconic Adult Beverage Launches in the U.S.
If you’re a brand manager, marketing director, or CMO in the adult beverage space, you already know the category isn’t what it used to be. The growth drivers have changed. The consumer behaviors have evolved. And the brands capturing headlines on BevNET, AdAge, and The Drum aren’t just launching SKUs—they’re launching movements.
At Agency Squid, we specialize in helping beverage brands—RTDs, hard seltzers, wines, spirits, and functional drinks—navigate these shifts with category-shaping strategy and head-turning creative. We don’t just follow the trends. We help make them.
Whether you’re launching a new brand, repositioning an existing portfolio, or redefining how your product connects in the modern three-tier system, we’re the agency behind some of the most disruptive brands in the adult beverage industry.
Why the Beverage Category Is Evolving Faster Than Ever
According to Beverage Industry Magazine and Just Drinks, alcohol consumers in 2024 and beyond are:
Prioritizing functionality, flavor, and lifestyle alignment
Expecting brands to show up digitally first, not just in-store
Responding to emotional storytelling over product specs
Demanding innovation beyond the liquid—in brand identity, content, and cultural connection
Trusted by the Beverage Brands That Broke the Mold
From billion-dollar brands to cult-favorite newcomers, we’ve helped companies in the adult beverage space make their mark—and their money.
For beverage brands to stand out, it’s not enough to have a great product. You need:
- Sharp segmentation
A story that scales across channels - Visual and verbal identity that pops at retail and in-feed
- A go-to-market strategy that works across three-tier complexity
That’s where Agency Squid delivers.
White Claw Hard Seltzer
We helped launch the White Claw brand in 2016—before hard seltzer was even a category. Our early insight into consumer wellness trends, digital behaviors, and packaging psychology helped turn a functional drink into a cultural juggernaut. White Claw became not just a product, but a verb.
FitVine Wine
We took FitVine from a CrossFit-friendly niche to a nationally recognized clean wine brand with mass-market appeal. The brand’s trajectory—culminating in its acquisition by one of the country’s largest wine companies—was powered by targeted positioning, creative segmentation, and omnichannel rollout.
SixSip Hard Refreshers
When it came to launching a next-gen RTD built for younger Millennials and Gen Z, we partnered with SixSip to create a bold, surreal, flavor-first world that could live natively on TikTok, Instagram, and everywhere in between. From 2D/3D animated worlds to personality-driven flavor archetypes, we designed a campaign system that earned attention, not borrowed it. The result? Rapid growth, viral brand engagement, and a foundation built for scale—digitally and at retail.
Silver Oak
Silver Oak didn’t need help being known—it needed help being understood by a new generation of luxury consumers. We worked with their executive team to develop a long-term brand platform that connects heritage, hospitality, and high design into one cohesive, modernized vision. Through luxury playbooks, digital activations, email strategy, and packaging partnerships (like their Paravel luggage collab), we helped Silver Oak not only maintain legacy, but build cultural momentum.
Summit Brewing
One of the Midwest’s most iconic breweries needed a reintroduction to a younger, modern audience. With Summit Brewing, we tapped into social truths and regional pride to develop “Beer for Here,” a campaign that married tradition with dry humor, resulting in massive upticks in brand relevance, local pride, and on-premise pull-through. Whether launching new partnerships like the St. Paul Saints collab or revamping identity systems for flagship SKUs, our work kept Summit as cold and relevant as the Minnesota air.
