Pure Blonde re-establishes decade old brand platform via The Monkeys
Carlton & United Breweries’ low-carb beer Pure Blonde has relaunched into market, re-establishing its original ‘A Place Purer Than Yours’ platform via The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song.
The campaign sees the brand return to its “lush, forested roots”, by imagining a world uncorrupted by modern life. The platform originally launched over a decade ago by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne.
“The real world is an impure place. It was when Pure Blonde first launched, and it’s arguably gotten worse,” said Ant Keogh, chief creative officer at The Monkeys.
“So, it made sense to revisit the original brand world: and see what measures they are taking to keep the beer pure.”
It features a trespasser in the ‘pure’ world, who is then confronted by locals who go to any lengths to protect the beer’s purity.
Carlton & United Breweries’ marketing manager of Pure Blonde, Tessa Whittaker, said: “It’s great to get back to the delicious, natural world that originally launched Pure Blonde.
“This new campaign seeks to build on those original semiotics, remind drinkers that Pure Blonde is 86 calories per bottle, and appeal to a new audience that doesn’t want to compromise on taste when it comes to low carb beer.”
The campaign goes live on May 5 in Australia and New Zealand.
It will roll out across TV, OLV, OOH, social, and digital audio channels.
