Since we last heard from Kopparberg at our live podcast session at MAD//North in 2025, a lot has happened for the UK's largest fruit cider brand – namely, the launch of its refreshed creator and influencer strategy last spring. Since then, the brand has been on a mission to entice its core audience of young adults and maintain salience for shoppers in the Beer and Cider aisle through savvy partnerships with creators. In this episode, we're joined once again by Kopparberg's senior customer marketing manager Nancy Dales to deep dive the role of creators in bringing creativity (one of Kopparberg's brand pillars) to life on social. Expect to learn why Kopparberg had to learn to let go when handing over the creative reins, what it takes to get internal buy-in for your riskiest campaign ideas, and how to sustain cultural relevance outside of your busiest sales period.
