Keystone Light has launched its 'Always a Smooth Catch' campaign, offering a fishing-themed promotion designed to enhance the outdoor experience for enthusiasts. The campaign features a refreshed thematic fishing pack, exclusive merchandise, and opportunities to win prizes aimed at creating a seamless fishing experience.
Entering its second year, the fishing pack design has been updated with Keystone Light’s new visual identity, depicting a lake, dock, and fishing lures. This design will extend across merchandise, point-of-sale displays, and localized promotions, reinforcing the brand’s connection to fishing culture.
From now through April 30, consumers can scan QR codes on the packaging to enter two giveaways. Participants have a chance to win an exclusive regional fishing trip for up to five people, including hotel accommodations, a guided fishing experience, and a $1,500 travel stipend. Instant prizes for fishing gear are also available. Regional trips will take place in Idaho, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas.
