Hahn launches epic pub anthem challenge in beer banter campaign
Lion-owned beer brand, Hahn, has launched a campaign asking what the most epic pub anthem of all time is as part of its newly launched ‘Hahn – Now You’re Talking’ brand platform.
The pub anthem commercial is the first part of a $12m ‘Beer Banter’ integrated campaign developed by Ogilvy Sydney for the Hahn brand, which turns 30 this year.
Ogilvy Sydney ECD, Derek Green said: “There’s nothing more Aussie men love than a bit of banter over a beer with their mates discussing all of life’s big, and not so big issues.
“So the ‘Beer Banter’ campaign, across all its executions, takes a good look at these conversations and the connections they have always had, and will continue to have with a beer like Hahn.”
The campaign will feature other elements including out of home, PR, social and digital that will roll out over coming weeks.
Green said in addition to the TVC and supporting elements, hundreds of ‘conversation starters’ featuring provocative questions will be seen under Hahn bottle caps and on pub coasters as part of an amplification in conjunction with fellow WPP owned agency Geometry Global.
“These questions will get pub conversation flowing as freely as the beer,” he explained. “From ‘Who is the greatest ever action hero?’ to ‘The fast bowler you’d least like to face?’ and even ‘You’re a pro-wrestler. Your theme music is?’ Hahn invites all these conversations to take place over an icy cold beer.”
Lion portfolio marketing manager, Amy Darvill, said the objective of the campaign is to inject a bit of fun back into the beer category, and remind consumers how good it is to get together with their mates and have a laugh over a great-tasting beer.
“Hahn is unashamedly a big and popular Australian beer brand, and while busy lives might sometimes get in the way, what’s a bigger or more popular pastime than catching up with mates for a beer in a pub or over a BBQ? We want this campaign to get this simple pleasure back on everyone’s radar,” she said
“We also love how we are bringing back our focus on taste – something that has been absolutely core to the Hahn range of beers since it was but a twinkle in Chuck Hahn’s eye 30 years ago. It is part of who we are – anyone who enjoys a schooner of Hahn SuperDry will agree – so let’s celebrate it.”
