Overview
Sober Dawn entered a fast-growing category with a clear ambition: create a premium non-alcoholic drinks brand that felt sophisticated, celebratory and credible, without relying on the clichés often associated with alcohol-free products. Positioned between everyday alternatives and ultra-premium competitors, the challenge was to build a distinctive brand capable of standing confidently in both hospitality and direct-to-consumer environments. From strategy and positioning through to identity, packaging and brand world, the goal was to create a brand that elevated the non-alcoholic drinking experience and challenged perceptions of what alcohol-free could be.
