Palmia is much more than a refreshing, naturally lemon-infused beer. It is our 90 calorie love letter to good taste. Inspired by adventures on the coast of Spain, our dream was to bring a new choice to the light beer market, a lager that demonstrates superior flavor and offer a long-overdue-alternative to all the other watered-down big beer brands.
Whether you find yourself relaxing at the beach or just spend time with friends after work, Palmia wants your time and your beer of the highest quality.
Palmia is not just a summer brew. It’s a light beer made by people who understand that having a good time isn’t seasonal and, most importantly should never be bland.

5. The Drinkers are collectively nonplussed
for what SKYY has to offer.
“Lower to mid-range
vodka.”
“The color blue, and the
label.”
“Dated, irrelevant,
catering vodka.”
“All caps shouting.”
“When I think of SKYY I
think of 10 years ago. It
feels super dated. Not
sure where they went.”
“Blue Bottle, otherwise
nondescript.”

“Living a big life.
Prestigious and risqué
lifestyle. I don’t really like
it. A bit cliched.”
“If you have a pool of
vodka, you are audacious
and cool.”
“SKYY will make my day
audacious? WTF?”
7. The Servers feel SKYY is yesterday’s news.
“They were going well for a
while. They were quite a
common well, then they got
too pricey so they kind of
got lost a bit.”
- Matt, Evil Eye
“I don’t see it anywhere
but I’m not really looking
for it either. It’s very dated.
They should do away with
the blue I think. It’s very
“early 2000s.””
- Sarah, Virgil’s
“People don’t really ask for
SKYY anymore. You’d think
it’d do better in SF given
where we are.”
- Glenn, El Rio

ABOUT BUILDING
AWARENESS.
IT’S ABOUT OVERCOMING
INDIFFERENCE.
9. “I think all vodka brands are after the same
thing: looking classy. The sex angle is stupid
and overused, in too many brand categories,
and is about as disingenuous as it gets. One
thing that would encourage me to drink vodka
more often is that it's a chameleon type of
alcohol that mixes well with anything. I don't
really care about the prestige factor and don't
think that's going to come from vodka anyway.”
- Haley, 25 San Francisco

25. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR SKYY?
LET’S TAKE A LOOK WHERE SOME OF THE
COMPETITION STANDS.
26. Smirnoff: The Best Vodka for Everyone
• Value Proposition: Making premium accessible to the
everyman/woman.
• Tagline: Only the best for everyone.
• Tone: Accessible, approachable, relatable.
27. Tito’s: The Original Craft Vodka
• Value Proposition: Artisanal yet affordable American
craft vodka.
• Tagline: America’s original craft vodka.
• Tone: Accessible, earthy, artisanal. patriotic.
28. New Amsterdam: Love the Grind
• Value Proposition: Celebrating those who bring hard
work and passion into whatever they do.
• Tagline: Pour Your Soul Out.
• Tone: Hard working, stylish, purposeful, inspiring.
29. Ketel One: The Purposeful Pursuit of Perfection
• Value Proposition: The purposeful pursuit of perfection.
• Tagline: You’re having our life’s work.
• Tone: Bold, masculine, European, strong.
30. Grey Goose: The World’s Best Tasting Vodka
• Value Proposition: The world’s best tasting vodka.
• Tagline: Bring Extraordinary/Fly Beyond.
• Tone: Premium, classic, French, elegant.

positioning? (i.e. “Maker culture meets couture)
THINK:

INSPIRATION

42. BLUE SKYY LABS
An innovation platform where the power of the
collective imagination is mobilized for the power of
making.
An online community where the enterprising and
ambitious can mobilize, synergize and share
opportunities to “Make. Everyday.” Now A BBQ chef
in St. Louis can connect with a creative
technologist from Austin, to come up with new
recipes and remixes. A screenwriter from Delaware
can connect with an animator from Ft. Lauderdale
to ideate and connect around their next project.
Think My Starbucks Idea, meets Patagonia Action
Works, Meets Fiverr.
43. SKYY x LACROIX
Is there a reason you can’t get a vodka soda in a
can?
Rather than create a sub-brand from scratch,
partner with a well-known and loved staple of the
Millennial generation, LaCroix.
2 different approaches:
1. Pre-packaged cocktails sold off the shelf,
released as a new category of mixed drinks,
“SKYYCroix.”
2. Have bottles of SKYY come pre-packaged with a
six pack of different LaCroix flavors, taking the
hassle out of choosing an independent mixer.
44. CHIHULY FOR SKYY
An undeniable brand asset of the SKYY brand is the
blue bottle.
Who better to trust with that equity than acclaimed
“maker,” glass sculptor, Dale Chihuly?
Chihuly could use recycled SKYY bottles and be put
to work to help beautify urban environments in
need of transformation.
It’s “making” in the service of social good. With a
natural and credible tie in with the SKYY brand.
45. COGNITIVE COCKTAILS WITH WATSON
IBM recently released a platform “authored” by
Watson, IBM’s AI program. The premise was to
“amplify creativity in the kitchen,” to discover new
food pairings that humans are likely to overlook.
SKYY could partner with Watson to unlock new
partnerships and combinations to pair with SKYY
vodka, aligning with the brand’s “Future Proof” call
to “make the future.”
46. SKYY MAKER STUDIOS
SKYY will create physical environments where the
entrepreneurials can mobilize, create and “make”
important ideas that shape the future.
The studios will be equipped with recording and
filming equipment, as well as brainstorming
environments.
Think Converse Rubber Tracks meets We Work.
