Kabannas
Building a Partnership for Success.
Kabannas, a renowned hotel chain known for its distinctive approach to affordable luxury, had previously entrusted us with curating the brand identity for their exclusive bar, Kabin. Our work on Kabin’s branding was a resounding success, transforming it into a standout feature within their hotels and offering guests a unique yet accessible experience.
Building on this success, Kabannas approached us once again, this time with a new challenge: to create a branded beer that would be sold exclusively in the Kabin bars.
The beer needed to reflect Kabannas’ atmosphere of affordable luxury and the laid-back, social vibe of Kabin, while also standing out as a unique and memorable offering within the bar’s concept. With this clear vision in mind, we were excited to help bring Kabin’s new in-house beer brand to life, catering to both the social and budget-conscious aspects of their clientele.
Standing out without standing apart.
Compadre Beer was to be a sub-brand of Kabin, the exclusive yet affordable bar within Kabannas’ hotels. Kabin had already established a welcoming atmosphere with a focus on providing an accessible, social environment for guests to relax and enjoy themselves. The challenge was to create a beer that would complement this atmosphere while also aligning with the broader Kabannas brand.
While Kabin had successfully captured the attention of guests seeking both affordable luxury and a vibrant social experience, the new beer needed to embody these values. It had to feel inclusive and approachable, a drink for guests to enjoy with friends, whether unwinding after a long day of business or during a casual evening out. In a competitive market, Compadre needed to not only stand out but do so in a way that felt natural and connected to the social fabric of Kabin.
A name built on connection
To meet this challenge, we began by developing a concept that would resonate with the social and affordable aspects of Kabin while still maintaining a unique identity for Compadre Beer.
