Mobile App Case Study

Palm App

This case study showcases the PALM Beer Finder App, a mobile application developed by Beeby Clark+Meyler that helps consumers find easy-to-love but hard-to-find PALM beer in stores, bars and restaurants.

Challenge

  • Latis Imports, a US importer of Belgian beers, needed to raise awareness and encourage trial of a newly introduced premium beer brand, PALM Beer, in the New York City market.
  • With a limited budget, Latis Imports needed a clever way to inform the target audience about the brand, help them find it in stores, bars and restaurants, and encourage trial.
  • The target audience was urban, tech savvy, and highly dependent on their smartphone for entertainment, happenings and information.
