DB Export’s Ballad About Low Carb Beer is the Valentine's Day Treat You Didn’t Know You Deserved

This Valentine's Day, DB Export's delicious new low carb beer launches with a full song and music video titled I'm Drinking It For You via Colenso BBDO. The R&B ballad shines the spotlight on Kiwi couples, turning the simple act of choosing a low carb beer into a gesture of romantic love.

DB Export has a history of giving its drinkers license to have a beer; the world-recognised Brewtroleum and Beer Bottle Sand campaigns were based on the idea that enjoying a DB Export Gold could help save the entire world.
 

Says Tony Wheeler, senior marketing manager, DB Export: "DB Export Gold Extra Low Carb is the delicious, full-flavoured answer to the divided state of the modern world."
 
Says Beth O'Brien and Thom Darlow, the Colenso BBDO creatives behind the campaign: "It's great to see a beer brand give a one-handed salute to stereotypes, and speak to everyone equally. This work is a huge leap forward for beer advertising in NZ," before attempting to clap one-handed.
 
Says Damien Shatford from Sweetshop, who directed the music video: "R&B is the best! I always knew it stood for romance and beers."

Says Fiona King, managing director and executive producer, The Sweetshop: "We love romance, great beer, and stories at Sweetshop. All inseparable. It was an absolute pleasure to acknowledge that drinking beer has a rightful higher purpose."

The song is available on all major streaming platforms wherever you find great music including Spotify and Apple Music, and is accompanied by a full campaign to bring our nation closer together that includes beer bouquets for couples to give each other on Valentine's Day, a remix of the song that plays in gym classes while people cut their rig for their partners, live performances of the song around the country, dedication hours on the radio, karaoke beer tastings, and a digital service that lets fans write their own lyrics and send them as a digital singing telegram to their loved ones.
