Victoria Bitter has unveiled ‘Means More’, its first major brand campaign with new creative agency, The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song.
The campaign, directed by Tim Bullock at Scoundrel, aims to celebrate the skill and intelligence behind hard work, under the brand’s existing ‘For A Hard Earned Thirst’ platform.
The Monkeys chief creative officer, Ant Keogh, said, “We wanted to create something that felt modern and progressive, while staying true to VB’s roots. So, we chose to elevate and celebrate the skills of some of Australia’s hardest workers, showing that a hard earned thirst doesn’t just take brawn, it also takes skill.”
Sarah Wilcox, head of classic beer – marketing at Carlton & United Breweries added, “VB’s strong values and assets are well established. This campaign seeks to build upon these, while adding relevance to new audiences, by elevating hard work to a new level. We’re not just celebrating sweat and effort; we’re also celebrating skills and smarts.”
The integrated campaign launches this week across broadcast television, outdoor, radio, online and social.
