Sail & Anchor

Designed by Marque Brand Consultants, Australia.

The Brief: the Pinnacle group tasked Marque Brand consultants with extending the portfolio of its mainstream Sail & Anchor brand into a craft beer territory for a new range. Knowing that the craft beer drinker most likes the authenticity in their great tasting beer of choice, and revels in the detail of crafted ingredients, Marque delved into the history of the Sail & Anchor brand to unearth a truth that could be the bedrock of the craft range. What it so excitedly discovered was that the Sail & Anchor brand has over a century of heritage in the seafaring port of Fremantle, where sea shanties have been sung and beers have been brewed in the Sail & Anchor hotel off and on for decades and is still being brewed there today. The Sail & Anchor hotel had seen many seafaring characters and personalities walk through it’s doors and the resulting brand weaves wonderfully romantic stories of Sailor’s Knots used in days gone by, elements of Fremantle history, a little touch of humour and brings them to life in an endearing illustrative form.
