How do you bring the Colorado lifestyle and atmosphere to local journalists—and, through them, to their readers? This was the challenge we faced when planning the Hungarian launch of one of the world’s most popular beer brands. Our solution?

The goal was not to celebrate in itself, but to give something back to the domestic audience. We wrote 2015 and in addition to Waze, iGO was used by most people on their phones - although its official Android version did not yet exist.
