Publicis Mojo reveals first work for ‘super’ Hahn beer
Publicis Mojo’s first work from Hahn sees a new direction for Super Dry, backed with the theme from 80s TV series Knight Rider.
As part of the campaign, the tagline ‘Pioneering Beering’ has been created to “speak to Hahn’s commitment to innovation and relentless improvement in brewing,” said Ralph Simpson, brand director premium for the company.
The ad – the first since Publicis won the account in November, was shot by director Tom Kuntz who won an Emmy award for best commercial of the year for his work with Old Spice’s ‘The Man Your Man Could Smell Like’.

I love it! With the trend in the beer category of advertisers going for laughs there are times the result is too try-hard and unfunny (for me the Tooheys beer economy falls into that category) but this one is a total winner!

@ fraser, 100% agree with you. Ad of the year already. Anything else is merely going for second place.
Dont drink Hahn Super dry, but will buy one, probably only one, just to say thanks.

Entertaining, but can’t help thinking that massive budgets seem to be taking the place of great strategy (& copywriting) in beer ads…
