Union partnered with a THC-infused drink brand navigating a rapidly evolving and highly regulated market. The goal was to create advertising and marketing creative that felt approachable and modern, while remaining compliant and informative for new and experienced consumers alike.
The Challenge
Marketing THC beverages presents a unique challenge: strict regulations, limited advertising channels, and a consumer base that often requires education before conversion. The brand needed messaging that communicated effects, usage, and lifestyle positioning without crossing regulatory lines or alienating cautious audiences.
The Approach
Union developed a brand-first strategy centered on clarity, tone, and restraint. Creative emphasized lifestyle context, dosage awareness, and responsible enjoyment. Every asset was built to remain adaptable across platforms while respecting the limitations of regulated product advertising.
The Work
Advertising concept development within regulatory constraints
Brand positioning and messaging refinement
Creative direction for digital and social campaigns
Educational storytelling designed for emerging THC consumers
The Outcome
The resulting work helped the brand establish a credible, trustworthy presence in the THC beverage space. By balancing education with brand storytelling, Union delivered marketing creative that supported long-term growth while remaining compliant in a complex category.
We came up with ideas to compare space travel for the rest of us. We created a space helmet for photoshoots and to use on the street. We tested the taglines on people asking them if they like "Space travel for the rest of us," or "Sip Sip Pass" for a tagline.
