Plzeňský Prazdroj
Special beer has always had it tough. Despite niche demand, hesitant consumers and declining on-trade channel, Plzeňský Prazdroj has developed the largest special beer program in lager-dominated Czechia and Slovakia.
The Complexity
What began as a pilot initiative had grown so complex it was unclear who the program was really serving. It tried to be too much at once: half consumer brand, half trade activation. The focus scattered, leaving little clarity for those who mattered most: pubs and sales reps.


The Simplification
We cut through the confusion and reshaped the project with single-minded direction.
-
From consumer-brand hybrid to trade program that empowers pubs and sales reps
-
From multiple parallel storylines to one accessible, pub-friendly narrative
-
From fragmented channels to a lean trade-first plan, built on simplicity and practicality
The Growth
By simplifying the structure, the program started to deliver real traction in a tough category:
- Sales reps finally had a usable program they could own
- Pub owners saw the offer as a service that made their lives easier, not as extra work
- Single-minded program opened doors to new outlets in Slovakia where distribution has doubled
- 1 practical, pub-focused trade plan
- +13% monthly volume sales CZ
- +104% monthly volume sales SK
Signifiqa gave us clarity, pushed back when needed, and made sure our team stayed focused on what's important.
