Overview

To reignite San Francisco’s love for Old Potrero Rye Whiskey, we built a citywide trail that celebrated the spirit’s local legacy. Through a blend of content, community, and cocktails, we invited locals to discover eight iconic bars, each with its own Old Potrero story. From custom drinks to neighborhood pride, the campaign stirred up excitement, sparked engagement, and brought this beloved rye back into the spotlight.

We designed a dedicated landing page featuring an interactive map of eight iconic San Francisco bars, each serving up a custom Old Potrero cocktail. With videos, interviews, and neighborhood stories, the page became a vibrant digital hub for discovery and connection.
