The “Champagne of Beers” is known for its iconic glass bottles. But in the summer, 75% of beer drinkers choose cans. Miller High Life needed to maintain its Champagne identity while still making it into coolers across America. So we transformed every can into a coupe glass. Turned packaging into Champagne towers and built eye-popping displays on an economy beer budget. TV, digital, social and in-store encouraged people to celebrate summer’s little wins with our celebratory cans, and shoppers snatched them up, driving an 11% increase in sales.
