“Bob’s Your Uncle has been tasked with helping Iceberg Vodka… grow in a hotly contested market.”
“Robert Froese… says Iceberg is a brand with great potential — a mid-sized client for the shop, alongside Popeyes, Second Harvest and Catelli.”
“The new creative will differentiate the brand by focusing on its craft credentials, including vodka made from 20,000-year-old icebergs.”

Why This Matters

This partnership highlights BYU’s ability to scale challenger brands in categories dominated by global giants.

1. Authentic craft story

Harvesting water from ancient icebergs isn’t a gimmick — it’s a brand truth waiting to be elevated.

2. Canadian brand × Canadian agency

Iceberg valued a partner who understood national culture, national identity, and national taste.

3. A brand with global reach

Iceberg was already selling in 22 countries. BYU’s task was to give it the creative firepower to grow bigger.

4. A historic category return

For Froese — who helped launch Mike’s Hard Lemonade — this marked a return to beverage innovation.
