EMMA HEAL, MANAGING DIRECTOR (LUCKY SAINT)
“MKJ Ignite came across as smart and savvy from the off. They quickly understood what we wanted, challenged us appropriately on scope, and then went to market with pace and enthusiasm. The communication from MKJ Ignite was excellent throughout, and I would recommend them to other fast-paced, high-growth businesses.”
In 2016, the founder of Lucky Saint, Luke, set out to revolutionise alcohol-free beer. His idea was simple: a classic, refreshing lager without the alcohol. To reward those who aren’t drinking with the beer they deserve.
Lucky Saint history
After two years of searching across Europe, he found the brewmaster who could make it happen in a 400-year-old Bavarian brewery.
Together, they brewed a beer using centuries-old brewing techniques, but with one crucial, untraditional twist: the beer was left unfiltered. Fresh, citrusy and hazy, it was an alcohol-free beer like none before. They called it ‘Lucky Saint’, a nod to virtuosity and the luck derived from hard work. The next revolution in lager was here.
Lucky Saint are everywhere at the moment (pubs, bars, restaurants, supermarkets), plus they’ve even opened their own pub – if you’ve not tried them yet, we highly recommend!
How MKJ helped
