A few months ago, the team at Andes Origen announced their plans to launch a new vermouth, leveraging the renowned Mendoza region's connection with high-quality grape production.

The product, named GUSTOSO, piqued interest not only for its promise of refined flavor but also for its unique branding, represented by 3 x :15s friendly bear animations.

This bear symbolizes the vermouth's approach-ability and its suitability for enjoyable moments shared among friends.

This collaboration was part of a longstanding relationship with Andes Origen and This Is New London, marking yet another exciting project together with Javi Aznarez. Javi's creative illustrations, which capture the essence of GUSTOSO, were meticulously animated frame by frame by @kiosko.anim, bringing the friendly bear and the spirit of the drink to life.

The project was managed through a well-coordinated effort, with idea and production led by @impero.ba, branding by @thisisnewlondon. The atmospheric music and sound effects were crafted by @wearebamba, completing the sensory experience of the new GUSTOSO vermouth.
