Objectives/

BASF required a trade show giveaway that would cut through the clutter, attract attendees to its booth, and extend brand engagement beyond the event itself.

  • Drive booth traffic at agricultural trade shows
  • Communicate weed challenges and control solutions in a memorable way
  • Create a takeaway with lasting value beyond the event

Solution

Problem weeds were reframed as “crop enemies” and brought to life through a series of collectible coaster sets.

Inspired by classic liquor labels, the designs use humour and parody to transform agronomic information into an unexpected and engaging format. Each coaster features a specific weed, a brief description, and a BASF backed solution for control, balancing entertainment with education. The collectible nature of the sets encouraged interaction and repeat engagement at the booth, while the premium design increased the likelihood that the coasters would be kept and reused.
