The challenge

A GLOBAL MESSAGE.
A LOCAL REASON TO CARE.

After a period of limited brand activity, Miller Genuine Draft needed to clarify what it stood for and reconnect with consumers. The brief was to make the global repositioning relevant in South Africa.

The audience

Adults aged 18 to 35 in township and urban environments, balancing work, study and personal responsibilities with time to socialise.

The occasion

The transition from the working day into the evening. The campaign focused on the opportunity to refresh and unwind with friends between 16:00 and 19:00.

The approach

IT’S OUR TIME.
IT’S MILLER TIME.

Local nuance connected the global message with the pressures on consumers’ time and budgets. The media plan used social, display and video to build visibility around the brand’s evening social occasion.

01 / Social

Facebook & Instagram

Social activity carried the brand message and supported interaction with the campaign.

02 / Display

Google Display Network

Display placements extended the campaign across online environments.

03 / Video

Bumper and TrueView formats brought the repositioning into video viewing moments.
