Elektrárna
Plzeňský Prazdroj is the market leader in Czechia and Slovakia, where lagers dominate. Special beers, however, have always had a tough life: niche demand, hesitant consumers, and an on-trade channel in decline after Covid.
The Complexity
Elektrárna, a craft brewery within Plzeňský Prazdroj, runs as a small, entrepreneurial unit inside a large corporation. Creativity and ideas were abundant — but so were the challenges. With limited people, budget, and time, the team struggled to prioritize. The result was an overwhelming list of initiatives without a clear path or focus, unlike the mothership brewery with its big budgets and resources.


The Simplification
Signifiqa stepped in to prune the activity list and provide a navigation tool:
- Introduced the COMPASS tool as a strategic guide to align priorities.
- Cut down a long list of scattered activities into a clear, focused plan tied to Elektrárna’s real capacity.
- Helped the team shift from chasing every idea → to concentrating on three strategic pillars:
- Telling the story of Elektrárna
- Winning new on-trade accounts
- Getting more people to taste the beer
- Built clarity on where to invest scarce resources and where to consciously say “no.”
The Growth
With a clear compass and simplified plan, Elektrárna is now able to:
- Direct resources to activities that deliver the biggest business return
- Operate more efficiently within its startup-like constraints
- Create a scalable roadmap that can grow with results
- +15k impression in the first 24 hours
- 130 press articles published on graduation day alone
- +34% engagement rate on first post (vs. -2% benchmark)

There’s honestly no way we could have moved at this pace and achieved these results without a partner as deeply dedicated to truly building our own organizational capabilities. Trust me when I say, it works!
