As a proudly local craft beer brand, YAU wanted a marketing strategy that would truly resonate with Hongkongers. Our solution? Celebrate Hong Kong’s craftsmanship—a perfect reflection of YAU’s own dedication to brewing excellence.

“YAU” means “Friend” in Chinese. Enter “Project YAU”, a campaign designed to support and connect local artisans, helping them bring their creative dreams to life. With YAU’s support, we partnered with three local film photography enthusiasts to develop Hong Kong’s first-ever handmade beer-infused paper-roll film. We also brought together two master craftsmen in Cantonese papercraft to build a three-metre-tall bamboo and rattan robot, turning childhood nostalgia into an awe-inspiring reality.

We created the thematic video and collaborations, lining up influencer partners such as @Hong Kong Reminiscence and @SurrealHK to feature the products and made noise on social media. I engaged film photography influencers to test and share the unique beer-infused paper film. To top it all off, we hosted the YAU Happy Hour event—an exciting gathering for media interviews, fans, and brand exposure.

With Project YAU, we didn’t just market a beer—we celebrated Hong Kong’s creative souls.
