The Complexity

We launched a category that had never existed for a product that could barely be talked about.

Sure Shot is the world’s first clinically proven rapid alcohol reducer. The formula was backed by clinical research and the results were documented. But regulatory constraints meant the most powerful claims couldn’t be said directly, and even when they could, consumers had no frame of reference for what they were hearing. You can’t convince someone to believe in something they have never been given permission to imagine.

The Idea

We built the brand around feeling rather than function. The outlaw of wellness. Where every other product in the space showed up after the damage was done, Sure Shot showed up before. The visual world drew from pop art and comic strips, bold and irreverent and completely unlike anything else in the category. It paid off the idea of something that seemed almost magical, reducing the impacts of alcohol before they start.

The Outcome

When Sure Shot launched on Amazon, it sold out in hours. It sold out again on their own site weeks later. The brand has since expanded into national retail including BevMo, Gopuff, 7-Eleven, and Walmart.
