Empathy Company delivers a packaging design fusing creativity, story-telling and AI for Maralto Beers

The launch of the Maralto beer line showcased creativity and groundbreaking packaging design. From inception to completion, the project was a harmonious collaboration between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence (AI).

With six distinct Maralto offerings, the packaging design is the journey of immersive experiences. The QR code beckons, inviting consumers to embark on captivating narratives. With each beer variant, a different story unfolds—be it ‘The Guardian of the Abyss’, ‘Giant Fury’, ‘Mystery of the Depths’, ‘Ocean's Shadow’, ‘The Mermaid's Kiss’, and ‘The Mighty God of the Sea’.

Through the conversational prowess of ChatGPT, Empathy Company spun captivating narratives where intrepid adventurers sought hidden treasures, encountered mythical sea creatures, and unravelled enigmatic mysteries. MidJourney, the foray into mixed reality, birthed mesmerizing illustrations that brought these stories to life. Harnessing the power of dynamic QR codes to bridge the gap between packaging and social networks, the narrative was an unbroken thread.

The story that commenced on the can seamlessly transitioned into graphic novels on social media, all curated by AI making it a perfect union of artificial and human intelligence, resulting in an inclusive project that punched well above its weight for a small company. Empathy Company was able to create a fusion of creativity, technology, and storytelling, all captured within the confines of its packaging making it an ode to innovation and a testament to the limitless power of imagination in the world of craft beer.
