Tecate Brand Identity by Elmwood New York

Elevating a brand to a lifestyle

Tecate has historically been a leading beer brand in Northern Mexico. The Tecate team wanted to build on this regional success and extend the beer’s popularity to all of Mexico, including the younger and more cosmopolitan Mexico City. In short, they wanted Tecate to become the most desirable beer in the country.

The Opportunity

Tecate wanted to change the overall perception of the brand to feel more relevant, progressive, and elevated without alienating its existing consumer base. To design around this challenge, Elmwood New York conducted an extensive cultural immersion across Mexico to understand the various perceptions and behaviors in consumption and shopping across regions.

The Insight

“With a brand as beloved as Tecate, we knew that a boots-on-the-ground immersion across Mexico’s many regions would be necessary to inform a meaningful design. From this process, we understood that the brand is deeply entwined in the country’s cultural fabric. Yes, it’s a great beer, but it’s more than that: it’s an authentic lifestyle icon ingrained in Mexican sports, music, and entertainment. We needed to shift the narrative beyond product—to an attitude encapsulating Tecate’s unapologetic boldness and modern masculinity.”
— Meg Beckum, Executive Creative Director at Elmwood NY

The Solution

With these learnings in hand, Elmwood NY revisited Tecate’s assets to build distinctiveness and help the beer stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. This included emboldening the brand’s iconic eagle and wordmark as well as stripping back unnecessary visual clutter. The result is a more modern visual identity that embraces Tecate’s bold spirit.

Brand World

Elmwood NY then crafted the beer’s new brand world. This included everything from music festival and soccer sponsorships to point-of-sale and out-of-LTC莱特币数字货币合约_期货合约杠杆home advertisements.

Brand Activation

With its new iconic assets in place, Tecate can extend its identity into new arenas to show up where its young consumers live and gather—moving beyond just a beloved beer to become a true lifestyle brand.
