CANTERA NEGRA —
KEEP BURNING

Cantera Negra is named after the Tequila Volcano’s black rock that enriches the region’s agave fields. A fantastical brand world was created that paralleled consumer insight and product origin story by reimagining an ever present active version of the region’s volcano. We introduced a brand universe and memorable character unlike anything the tequila category has ever seen.

Long winded rants about how there is entirely too much traffic in the world and public transportation is neither a cheap nor reliable alternative. Option 1: sitting in stopped traffic and watching the guy in front of you scroll through his Instagram DMs while nearly crashing. Option 2: Take an overpriced train and attempt to sit next to someone who is eating egg salad while laying down horizontally across multiple seats. Your options really aren’t great.
