Overview

Madrí Excepcional emerged as a breakout lager by bridging the spirit of Madrid with modern UK pub culture. The creative challenge was to define a campaign identity that brought these two distinct worlds together with urban energy, avoiding tired beer category cliches. Working on concept design and art direction, I developed visual systems celebrating the dynamic cultural collision embracing the heart of Selby (where Madri is brewed) and the soul of Madrid (the culture the brand embraces), whilst elevating the brands visual craft and sophistication into a gritty, but classy tattoo aesthetic. Combining local traditional Spanish motifs with modern graphic street-culture, the proposed identity utilized crisp typography, bold icons, and high-impact colour blocking.
