Tooheys celebrates heritage with new branding and campaign
Tooheys is celebrating its heritage in a new campaign going back to the brand’s humble beginnings in Sydney in 1869 with the story of the Tooheys brothers as the brand introduces new product Darling Pale Ale, named after the Tooheys brothers first brewery the Darling Brewery.
The online video, created by Infinity Squared, goes through the brother’s start and how the Tooheys brothers spirit remains in what the brand, and the beer, means today.
The video equivalent of drinking the product.
It’s a nice piece, but what is it trying to SAY to consumers? Buy Toohey’s because over 100 years ago the founders did some stuff? I don’t think history sells beer.
Not sure how keen blokes will be to drink ‘Darling’ Pale Ale.
Jesus, who gives a flying f*ck? Toohey’s is quite patently a long way from being “craft”, so why all the heritage guff? Where is the insight into beer-drinking? Where is the consumer? Why is ALL Australian beer advertising so flat at the moment? Why didn’t someone take the advice of the brothers Toohey and just gave a go at creating something half-decent?
The equivalent of meeting someone who can only talk about themselves.
Look at the brand’s campaigns over the last few years and you have a brand with either a severe crisis of identity or a brand who will throw anything at the wall in an attempt to be in with the kidz and see what sticks.
Navel gazing of the highest order. Did anyone involved in this campaign stop to think ‘what’s in it for the consumer?’, ‘why should I care?’
Well done guys!
Beer sales are falling worldwide.
So at the very time when they need to be doing something exciting beer company reverts to conservative ‘factory tour’ advertising like its 1970.
Remember :You go and drink beer because it’s fun.
Nothing about flavour and nothing compelling me to ask for a Darling Pale Ale instead of a Coopers next time I step up to the bar
what’s going on at Lion? Earlier this year we got a travel ad called “experience collectors” on Hahn.
Then then ditch BMF and all the amazing work they did on Tooheys Extra Dry for this corporate video?
Is this from Host? The fact there are no Agency credits says it all really
This is what happens when you let your media agency make your ads.
People still drink Tooheys?
