Crack another one open

Excuse the pun... (and the fact that this commercial was banned from tv)



So another day, another beer viral. I wonder what it is about the industry that lends itself so well to viral campaigns? Ok, that was a bit of a rhetorical question, but even taking all of the obvious factors into account Budlight and its counterparts do still produce a disproportionate number of virals.

Maybe the other industries just haven't caught on quite as much.

Lol, beer commercials are defintely my favourite. Check out this one from Carlton Draught: geekslippers.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/its-a-big-ad/

Hey Lester - yeah, that's an absolute classic. Strangely enough it was featured as one of the worst social media ads recently, although it's been well documented as being one of the most successful of all time.

I'll try and dig up that link.

Please do pass on the link if you find it.

Cheers,
