Campaign Objective
Tiger Beer sought to explore refreshing new ways to engage consumers with Tiger Crystal in Malaysia. The goal was to create a signature promotional merchandise piece that would:
Reinforce Tiger Crystal’s refreshing, light identity
Stand out in the crowded beer promotions space
Create a socially shareable drinking moment in restaurants
The creative spark came from the Tiger team: a hotpot-inspired ice bucket. The challenge was to transform this playful idea into a real, functional product without compromising design, usability, or durability.
What We Delivered - Engineering the Coldpot From Scratch
DTC World’s role was to translate a creative vision into a practical, high-quality product. Our design, innovation and procurement teams worked closely with Tiger Beer to refine details, select materials, and engineer the Coldpot for both aesthetics and performance.


Product Engineering Highlights
Design Realization: Translated hotpot concept into manufacturable product drawings and prototypes.
-
Material Selection: Ensured durability, safe cooling performance, and a premium finish to match brand standards.
-
Production Precision: Leveraged our APAC factory network to produce at scale with strict QC compliance.

The result was a first-of-its-kind Coldpot – a custom ice bucket that merged cultural relevance with brand storytelling.
