Basic description of the project: Many Australian beer brands offer their product in a larger-size “longneck” bottle. To grow their market and give their current customers this option, Tooheys Extra Dry (TED) wanted to launch their own longneck beer bottle, the TED 696ml.
In Australia, longneck beer bottles are always sold in brown paper bags. Therefore if we could own this bag, we would own the category.
So we launched the TED696 Project – a collaboration between TED and some of the world's best street artists to design a brown bag using the theme of ‘696’. We then opened the competition to the wider public.
