Case Study GIMBER

GIMBER, FROM PURPOSE TO GLOBAL TRACTION

GIMBER started with a strong foundation: a high-quality product, clear purpose and early traction within a growing non-alcoholic movement. The challenge was not creating demand — but accelerating it in the right way.
Context
At an early stage, the brand operated with a small team and a direct-to-consumer model, owning its distribution and margins. The opportunity was to expand beyond early adopters and build demand in high-value channels, starting with hospitality.
Approach
We focused on a deliberate go-to-market strategy built around selective placement and credibility.
Starting from a strong initial base in a high-end concept store, the brand was introduced into top-tier hospitality through a targeted network of Michelin-star venues and leading bartenders — aligning with an audience already shifting towards high-quality non-alcoholic alternatives.
At the same time, exposure was amplified through carefully chosen moments:
  • selective well-matched event picking, like only one high-end fair instead of broad presence
  •  collaborations with Michelin chefs and creators
  •  earned media through influential personalities, including national television
These efforts reinforced each other — turning presence into signal, and signal into demand.
Outcome
The brand quickly gained traction across hospitality and premium channels, creating strong visibility and pull from both consumers and professionals.
Within months, GIMBER scaled from 3,000 to 12,000 bottles per month, expanded its team, and started receiving international demand.
A clear example of how selective placement and earned credibility can accelerate growth when built on a strong foundation
