The biggest marketing campaign the brewery's 160-year history.
Australian family-owned brewery Coopers is rolling into summer with its biggest marketing campaign in its 160-year history via creative agency TABOO.
The campaign focuses on ‘the roll’, the unique ritual which unlocks the full flavour of a Coopers beer and presents its signature cloudy appearance.
Coopers partnered TABOO to ensure Aussies on either side of the bar are getting the most out of their Coopers.
The campaign’s hero film (produced by HOOVES, directed by Jason Perini) follows a bartender (Aussie actor Mark Winter) on his journey to work where his dedication to serving the perfect Coopers manifests in humorous and unexpected ways.
The ‘Roll On’ soundtrack, composed for the campaign by Smith and Western has been turned into a 2-minute version that will be available on Spotify.
TABOO managing director James Mackinnon, said: “Attaching a ritual to a product can unlock enormous value for both brand and consumer- particularly when it connects to a unique and compelling product truth.
"Coopers’ age-old brewing process has organically created a ritual that is distinct and ownable– we wanted this campaign to explain and encourage the behaviour in a fresh, interesting, and not-too-serious way for Aussie drinkers."
Coopers national marketing manager, Kate Dowd, said: “Coopers loves the roll; it is visceral, unique and creates brand memory for our drinkers.
"We want to get all drinkers rolling this summer to their local bottle shop or pub. We are looking forward to sharing this exciting, socially led campaign with our loyalists and new drinkers around Australia, with a strong focus in NSW."
The integrated campaign has launched nationally and will run over Summer, kicking off with the :30 film in cinema and appearing online, alongside the augmented reality game, all supported by digital, social and OOH, through to podcast sponsorship and an influencer campaign. All serving to build awareness, engagement & participation in the unique ritual of the Coopers Roll.
