Wildthing Regenerative Lager Campaign
Hawkstone and Wildfarmed launched Wildthing, a lager made with regeneratively farmed barley, and gave the product a broader cultural hook through a new version of “Wild Thing” recorded with the Hawkstone Farmers Choir. The release supports farming charities, alongside a £100,000 donation commitment and a wider campaign celebrating British farming.
Why it worked: It fused a supermarket-scale product drop with a nostalgia trigger (a charity “Wild Thing” remake) and hard numbers (£100k), giving editors a timely, culture-plus-impact hook.
The lesson: Consider tying a launch to a recognizable song or ritual, add a measurable charity commitment, and stage a nationwide retail moment.
