Why Is Standing Out So Important in Today’s Beverage Market?

The canned beverage aisle and social feeds are overflowing with brands all competing for attention. Whether it’s sparkling waters, adaptogenic tonics, or functional sodas, the competition is fierce, and consumers have endless options. Brands like Olipopand Poppihave shown the way with their vibrant, high-energy visuals. They’ve proven that bold, social-first content isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for building brand awareness and loyalty in a noisy market. When hightailcame to ALX Creatives, they wanted more than just to keep up, they wanted to stand out.

How Did ALX Help Hightail Turn Up the Volume?

We know that color isn’t just decoration, it’s communication. To help hightailbreak through the clutter, we designed social media assets and digital experiences that truly embody the brand’s personality: confident, fun, and full of flavor.

• Social-First Visuals: We created a suite of content designed to catch eyes on crowded feeds, think bold colors, punchy headlines, and a playful vibe that reflects the brand’s quirky spirit.

• Shopify Site Redesign & Management: The digital store needed to reflect the same vibe. We revamped their Shopify site and continue managing it, making sure the online experience is as seamless and vibrant as their social presence. The end result? A cohesive brand world where every touchpoint, from Instagram posts to online checkout, feels authentically hightail: fresh, colorful, and impossible to ignore.

What Makes Hightail Special Compared to Other Beverages?

Hightail isn’t just another drink on the shelf—it’s made for the fun-loving and flavor-seeking. With bold taste and functional benefits, Hightail encourages you to carve out your own moments and sip in the fun. This clarity allowed us to push their visuals to be unapologetically bright and vibrant. Unlike many beverage brands leaning into minimalism or muted palettes, hightail owns its color, its playfulness, and its confidence.

Why Does Color Play Such a Big Role in Beverage Marketing?

Color grabs attention faster than any other element. It sets expectations and sparks emotion instantly. In a category where products can blur together, a brand’s color palette is a powerful differentiator. Hightail’s vivid hues aren’t just pretty, they communicate the brand’s boldness and fun right away. We matched these hues with vibrant social content and a playful digital environment so the brand’s personality shines through every pixel.

What Does “Not Self-Serious” Look Like on Social?

Hightail’s tone is playful and confident, never trying to be something it’s not. This allowed us to create social content that’s as playful as the drinks themselves, full of color, texture, and a little attitude. The approach was simple: turn up the dial on color and intensity while keeping the brand’s identity crystal clear.

How Does ALX Support Hightail Beyond Creative Launches?

Beyond creating their visuals and messaging, we provide ongoing site maintenance and updates to keep the Shopify experience smooth and vibrant. This behind-the-scenes work ensures that the brand not only looks good but functions flawlessly, keeping customers coming back.
