Mike’s Harder Lemonade is a brand that turns it up to an 11 and so are the people who drink it.
So after two years of not advertising, our campaign absolutely needed to be an 11 in order to maintain Mike’s number one position in the category and to help introduce a new flavor innovation. Enter the Harder Farmer. He grows the hardest lemons to make the hardest lemonade. He lives at an 11.
Launching the Harder Farmer
We introduced The Harder Farmer to the world through a series of videos, stills, and GIFs that ran across OLV and social channels supporting their core product, Mike’s Harder Lemonade.
The Harder Farmer also helped introduce a new flavor innovation that would prevent competitors from stealing additional market share – Mike’s Harder Half & Half (half tea and half lemonade). These videos ran across linear TV and a variety of social channels (Reddit, Snapchat, Meta) which resulted in overwhelmingly positive brand sentiment.
