Project Overview

Project Details
Project Title Brand Video Development For Stocked By Reserve Bar
Project Synopsis

What is the challenge or opportunity you are trying to address within your organization?

ReserveBar, a leader in high-end spirits and luxury beverage curation, is launching a new brand called Stocked, focusing on ready-to-drink (RTD) cans, hard beverages, and craft beer. Unlike ReserveBar’s core identity, Stocked will emphasize fast, regional/local accessibility and appeal to consumers looking for convenient, high-quality drinking experiences.
The challenge is twofold:
  1. Brand Positioning & Messaging – How can Stocked differentiate itself from ReserveBar while still existing within the same ecosystem?
  2. Launch Content Strategy – How can Stocked tell an engaging, consumer-driven story that conveys the lifestyle and moments best associated with its products?
Stocked needs a brand launch video storyboard that will be used for social media advertising and digital content. The project requires students to define the target audience persona, develop a compelling narrative, and storyboard a video that aligns with the brand's messaging in preparation for a May 2025 launch.


What are some of the activities or action items you think will need to be taken to achieve your desired results?

Market Research & Audience Insights
  • Identify and define Stocked’s target audience personas based on demographics, behaviors, and preferences.
  • Research competitor marketing strategies for RTDs, hard beverages, and craft beer.
  • Evaluate regional vs. national positioning strategies for Stocked.
Content & Messaging Strategy
  • Develop a brand story framework that highlights key consumer moments.
  • Create messaging pillars that showcase Stocked’s accessibility, local appeal, and fast delivery model.
  • Define the tone, voice, and messaging to differentiate Stocked from ReserveBar while maintaining synergy.
Brand Video Storyboard Development
  • Outline key scenes and sequences for the Stocked launch video.
  • Develop a narrative arc that showcases key drinking occasions (e.g., game nights, barbecues, weekend getaways, casual gatherings).
  • Integrate product placement and branding elements in a natural and engaging way.
Implementation Recommendations
  • Propose distribution strategies for social media and digital marketing.
  • Suggest A/B testing strategies for video variations based on audience segmentation.
  • Provide recommendations for additional supporting content (short clips, GIFs, and stills) to be used in ads and organic social media.


What would make this project a success for your organization? What measurable results are you looking to accomplish?

A well-researched target audience profile with key consumer insights.
A detailed and visually engaging storyboard for the brand launch video.
Clear messaging pillars and brand positioning strategy for Stocked.
Strategic content distribution plan for a successful May launch.
