Directed by EXIT’s Conor Mercury.

Coopers Brewery is celebrating the simple moment of majestic, everyday originality in a campaign via Special and EXIT. 

“For some, there’s no better canvas for originality than the pool table at their local,” said Special executive creative director, Ryan Fitzgerald. 

“Flair reigns, physics bends and the rules melt away. In these moments, there’s no better beer to raise than a Coopers because originals drink original.” 

The campaign is directed by EXIT’s Conor Mercury, an Adelaide local. 

The integrated campaign is rolling out nationally across broadcast, cinema, OOH, digital and social.

“With this iteration of ‘Forever Original’, we’re excited to include the punters that drink us, while celebrating the confidence that comes from being independent and truly yourself,” said Coopers brand manager, Jessica Douglas.
