No monkey business
Article Abstract:
Molson's newest Canadian beer campaign featured a logo-less teaser, 30-second ad showing a cavernous workshop with rows of monkeys tapping on antique typewriters to music by The Einstein Brothers that tried to define all that is Canada. The "I Am" campaign, conceptualized by MacLaren McCann of Toronto, has been touted as a breakthrough in television advertising. The new concept has raised comments from some industry analysts who state that although the campaign is well branded, it denotes a change of direction for a brand that was very much an everyman's beer.
