Coolberg pops the lid off convention with fizzy campaign for Gen Z rebels
MUMBAI: Crack open a cold one with no rules attached. Coolberg, India’s favourite non-alcoholic beer brand, is shaking up the beverage aisle and the status quo with its new campaign, “No Rules, Just Cool.” A celebration of everything unapologetically Gen Z, the campaign invites India’s youth to drop the labels, ditch the expectations, and sip on their own terms.
Whether you’re breaking free from a bad breakup or just breaking the mould, Coolberg wants you to know that the best rebound isn’t a person it’s a mindset. Kicking off with cheeky relationship advice and rolling out across digital platforms like Snapchat, Spotify, Meta, and OTT channels, the campaign is every bit as quirky and unfiltered as the generation it speaks to.
Commenting on the campaign, Ghodawat Consumer Limited, head of marketing, Shubham Shukla said, “Coolberg is the ultimate drink for Gen Z as it’s fun, inclusive and unique. With No Rules, Just Cool, our objective is to align with the evolving mindset of Gen Z, a generation that values authenticity, individuality, and freedom of expression. This campaign kicks off with a quirky take on relationship advice, a reminder that the best rebounds aren’t people, they’re powerful mindset shifts. At Coolberg, we are not just making a drink but building a brand that resonates with today’s youth culture.”
And the numbers fizz louder than ever. Since its acquisition by Ghodawat Consumer Limited in 2022, Coolberg has gone from cool to cooler. Now available in over 50,000 outlets across 150 cities, the brand has even made its way to 15 plus international markets. It’s not uncommon to spot Coolberg alongside your burger and fries at KFC, Barbeque Nation, or Wow Momos, and it’s just a few clicks away on Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Flipkart Minutes, and Amazon.
With a flavour profile as bold as its branding, Coolberg is serving up more than a sip, it’s serving a cultural reset. So the next time you crack open a bottle, remember: the only rule is to be cool.
