Auténtico Sabor Ecuatoriano / El Carnaval Pilsener 2026

CONTEXT:
In Ecuador, each Carnival has its own characters, rituals, and codes. All different. All Ecuadorian, but never all together.

INSIGHT:
There isn’t just one way to celebrate Carnival in Ecuador. But they all have one thing in common:
Pilsener. If one brand could connect that diversity, it was the beer that was already present at every celebration.

IDEA:
To pay homage to iconic characters from different Ecuadorian carnivals and design a system of cans that, when joined together, would also symbolically unite the country.

EXECUTION:
We created three collectible cans inspired by the Dancer of Pujilí, the Marimba Player, and the Devil of Píllaro. Their faces are on the front.
Their bodies are on the back. By placing one can on top of another, the characters were completed. And by mixing them, new combinations appeared. Thus, the packaging ceased to be just packaging and became a game, a collectible, and a cultural connection.
