Crown Lager: Actually, rather than time, now hops and barley are the key ingredients

CUB’s premium brand Crown Lager has unveiled the first of its TV work by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne after the agency picked up the brand from Droga5 last year.

The ads, which begin to air tonight, seek to emphasise the quality of the ingredients. The campaign highlights the fact that only a tiny proportion of Australia’s hops and barley farmers are selected to supply the brewer.

The new campaign continues the emphasis on ingredients developed during Droga5’s campaign which labelled time as the fifth ingredient.

Two of the farmers who supply Crown Lager appear in the ads.

Two of the four ads feature a version of the INXS track Don’t Change performed by Pete Murray. The ads, directed by Keith Ehrlich, are shot in monochrome with spot colour.

The commercials follow the launch of a series of billboards and press ads across the country.
