Corona Extra Lime

The challenge

Corona's lime ritual depends on a fruit few farmers grew in China, the world's biggest beer market.

The idea

With local governments and industry partners, the brand gave farmers the know-how and tools to cultivate quality limes. Roughly a thousand days later, Corona Extra Lime reached shelves, with profits going to the growers.

Results

  • Two million limes sold in year one
  • Farmer income up 21%
  • Corona sales up 29%
  • Over $11 million in earned media
