Band Of Brands

Droga5's so brilliant every time it's almost boring how brilliant they are. Every time.

We Drink All We Can

Slogan of the year in 1965, in the US (according to adslogans.co.uk). And one of the best beer slogans so far.

That Bar Feeling

Newcastle Remakes GoDaddy's Superbowl Job Quitting Ad

This is how Newcastle would have made this ad below. Scratch that, this is how they did make it.

The Mega Huge Football Ad Newcastle Could've Made

Barnes Twins, Biathletes

If We Made It

Liked the teaser, liked the homepage even better.

Shoot Your Shelf

Not exactly proper copywriting but I couldn't help myself.

And Even More Honesty from Newcastle Brown Ale

More Honesty from Newcastle Brown Ale

High 5 Droga 5!

Wellington in a Pint

The Cool Beer Names that Are Pretty Hard to Remember series continues. There's no such series, there's just one previous post about beer names. Anyway, Clemenger BBDO Wellington tried to put their city in a beer. Literally. They got a bunch of ideas from locals and finally made 4 craft beers inspired by the city.

Bye Bye Blanket Man, a tribute to Wellington's well-known nude hobo (he's not that famous), Celia Wade-Brown Ale, named after the city mayor (contains her favorite coffee), Cooked Strait - seaweed smoked over driftwood from New Zealand's South Coast and Kawanka Cable Car Classic - red, like the cable car which inspired the name plus it also contains the leaves along its track.

A short case study of the project, here.

Schneider Forgiveness

Blithering Idiot

If that's what this beer's gonna turn you into, why not name it exactly that?

Beer Economy

The Publican

Ran across these by accident. The bartender/pub-owner-bartender is definitely a character that beer campaigns could have leveraged more. It's actually a bit surprising they haven't. Anyway, Rosso looks like the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with. Get some of that pub wisdom straight from the source. Cheers, mate!

Men Look Much Better in Slow Motion

It would've been a cool ad without the opera-rewrite voice-over, it's a great one with it. Also, the slogan seems to be bound to become a classic.

One-second Commercials

Miller High Life bought one-second slots to air their commercials during the 2009 Superbowl. I'm not sure if the 30-seconds intro commercial also aired during the Superbowl. I'm guessing no, since that would have been the opposite of the whole point. Also, "football-shaped salami" is probably my favorite one-second ad ever.

Man Laws

No Nonsense

Classic TV ad series plus a selection of whatever else I could find. Kind of in the same line of Newcastle Brown Ale.

Miller Auditions

Apparently it's actually a spin on the Budweiser lizards posted earlier. Actual actor auditions were used and the animation was created leaving from those. Bear is awesome, raccoon's a bit boring but still with some good bits, goose, otter and the turtle are so boring I didn't even bother to post them.
