Team WPP strikes again as DraftFCB loses Coors

Team WPP strikes again as DraftFCB loses Coors

By Stephen Foster on May 1, 2012

Miller Coors, the North American beer venture between SAB Miller and Molson Coors, has sacked long-time Coors agency Interpublic-owned DraftFCB and succumbed to the temptations of an offer from WPP to combine the talents of JWT, Ogilvy, Y&R and Grey. The account is worth about $200m. Publicis Groupe’s Saatchi & Saatchi has held on to [...]

JWT gains important Carlsberg global foothold with Hong Kong win

JWT gains important Carlsberg global foothold with Hong Kong win

By Stephen Foster on November 15, 2011

Carlsberg is the world fourth-largest brewer with a history of famous advertising (‘Probably the best lager…) but uses a hotch-potch of agencies. Its new tagline ‘That calls for a Carlsberg’ has been run out of London integrated agency Fold7 with some notable work from Belgium’s Duval Guillaume Modem. Now JWT Hong Kong has won a [...]

Crispin Porter's Craig Miller joins London's VCCP - does this herald international expansion?

Crispin Porter’s Craig Miller joins London’s VCCP – does this herald international expansion?

By Stephen Foster on October 14, 2011

Crispin Porter creative director Craig Miller, one of the people behind the celebrated Domino’s Pizza ‘turnaround’ in the US, is joining Chime Communications-owned VCCP in the UK. Five years ago Domino received a huge amount of flak after a viral video showed nasty things finding their way into its pizzas and this prompted much of [...]

Carlsberg enlists Belgian bikers in great beer battle

Carlsberg enlists Belgian bikers in great beer battle

By Stephen Foster on October 4, 2011

Beer accounts have always been the most sought-after creative brief (you can indulge your laddish tendencies with the client’s wholehearted approval) but there some especially good examples around at the moment, like Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam for Heineken and VCCP for Molson Coors. And then there’s the celebrated Andes ads from Argentina’s Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & [...]

Easyjet rolls out £50m mega-campaign - well it's certainly different to British Airways

Easyjet rolls out £50m mega-campaign – well it’s certainly different to British Airways

By Stephen Foster on October 3, 2011

Which is presumably one of the things new agency VCCP was aiming for. Although it wouldn’t have known what the new BA campaign from Bartle Bogle Hegarty was going to look like it was a safe bet it wouldn’t take the surprisingly cheap and cheerful approach shown here – a kind of Butlins for Europe [...]

A 'wondrous place' for Carling -  ambitious or what?

A ‘wondrous place’ for Carling – ambitious or what?

By Stephen Foster on September 20, 2011

Carling has had its famous campaigns in the past – most notably ‘I bet he drinks Carling Black Label’ from WCRS – but a common feature has been its positioning as a cheap guzzle for the lads. But owner Molson Coors recently switched the business from Beattie McGuinness Bungay (who had essayed a spin on [...]

‘Frozen pants’ Jean-Claude van Damme enters the beer battle for Coors Light

By Stephen Foster on July 5, 2011

All this beer stuff is getting interesting, the world’s finest agencies striving to outdo each other with wacky (sometimes funny) campaigns to try to persuade young drinkers that it’s worth paying a premium for image, let alone what’s in the bottle or tap. Now London’s VCCP, one of the big successes in the UK since [...]

Challenger brands agency VCCP Blue wins Carling

By Stephen Foster on June 7, 2011

Surely some mistake? Carling, the venerable UK lager, is hardly a challenger brand is it? Well maybe it is these days, it’s a long time since it ruled the market on the back of the famous WCRS ‘Bet he drinks Carling Black Label’ campaign. VCCP Blue, an offshoot of Chime-owned VCCP, describes itself as ‘super [...]

Funny old world as Molson Coors reviews Carling at BMB but gives it two new accounts

Funny old world as Molson Coors reviews Carling at BMB but gives it two new accounts

By Stephen Foster on March 17, 2011

Those clients, they become stranger by the day. Campaign reports that giant Canadian brewer Molson Coors is reviewing its flagship Carling account (worth £7m) at UK agency Beattie McGuinness Bungay whilst at the same time awarding the agency Corona Extra and Grolsch (worth a reported £12m) without a pitch. So presumably Molson Coors quite likes [...]
