Drink Advert - Carling

Video Source - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1OKFQYzitM

This post is about a recent Carling advert. In the advert there are two guys, over watching a pub cricket game, when one returns with two pints of Carling. The ball is then hit towards a group of nuns, one of the guys runs to catch the ball, which he does, he then proceeds to throw the ball very wrong breaking a window, to which his friend replies “it’s good but it’s not quite Carling”.
There is always on going rivalry between beers brand on who is best, who creates the best tasting beer. There is Carlsberg who claim that if anything was going to be made as if it was world’s best the in would be made by Carlsberg and John Smiths with it nonsense beers. Carlings have decided they will join the race to be the best, or at least thought of as the best.

“It’s good but it’s not quite Carling”. What a great tag line this is, with it putting Carling on a pedestal above other beers, it has worked exactly how Carling wanted.  They have given the brand a more prestigious symbol, something to be desired and worked for. A treat that one would want after a hard days work.
