— WHAT
Being one of the most popular beer brands in Portugal, Super Bock has fostered a very close relationship to music and arts.
The launch of its new range of craft beers — CORUJA — was a perfect opportunity for the brand to make that bound even closer and to start an Art’s Program to support public art and the portuguese street art scene.

— PROJECT
A tribute was paid to urban art with the announcement of a 3 — year investment program, in a 4 step campaign based on a fictional narrative in real time across different disciplines and media.
9 top artists were comissioned to draw 70 different owls and 2 months after the launch, the artist “Coruja” (Owl) was born to spread those illustrations through Portugal, amplifying the echo of their work via social networks. ⥅

Then a traditional beer campaign was launched, creating a fictional conflict. The artist “Coruja” responded to the usurpation of his name by the brand, which resulted in a vandalizing phase of Super Bock’s out of home advertising, with tremendous impact.
With the dialogue open between the brand and the artist, Super Bock invites “Coruja” for a collaboration. Finally, “Coruja” is revealed to be an artist collective and the brand unveils new illustrations to be featured on the 9 beer labels over the next 3 years in an exhibition for the actual launch - made itinerant to be seen across the country.
