Kirin Ichiban is a premium Japanese beer brewed from 100% malt using the First Press method. Translating to ‘first’ and ‘best’, Ichiban is a uniquely smooth, robust, and full-bodied beer.

In collaboration with Lion and Thinkerbell, we celebrated this premium beer through an equally premium advertisement. The campaign prominently highlights Ichiban’s unique production process known as ‘First Press,’ which involves extracting only the initial press of liquid from the malt, capturing the essence of its purest ingredients.

With this vision in mind, the campaign centres around a paper embossing technique, intricately pressing out the details of the Kirin Ichiban label artwork and the beer itself. Audio mix by Smith and Western Sound to take it to the next level.

In 2024, IGS celebrates its 40th birthday with a rebrand, accompanied by a 40th anniversary campaign. Never Sit Still collaborated with Collective Objective, the design agency responsible for the strategy and branding, to bring their vibrant and playful designs to life in motion.

As part of this project, NSS also created a suite of ‘worlds’, including 40 animated illustrations representing a different aspect of IGS, from languages taught, to school houses, through to brand vision and aspirations. Some illustrations were inspired by the artwork of students from the school, and no two worlds used the same art style.
