Agency Brief: 2018 bites the dust (now get out of here)


There were a few moments I wasn’t sure (fine, more than a few), but we made it through 2018.

It’s been quite a year taking over this beat my first weekend on the gig, the world’s largest holding company lost its CEO (remember that?) and things never really slowed down from there. But it’s been tremendously fun to watch this space in 2018. I’m eager to see comes next.

I’ll keep it short and sweet I mean it, there’s candy news! since I have Christmas shopping to finish and a Chicago flight to make. But I wish happy holidays to each of you, agency readers, and I’ll talk to you next year. (Unless you have some juicy news… then call me).

Ad regulator weighs in on beer taste, siding with Miller Lite over Bud Light


The tests led to specific claims such as more people in St. Louis say Miller Lite has more taste. But these versions of the tests “did not comply with accepted protocol requirements for preference taste testing such as double blinding, a geographically representative sample size and similarly purchased products,” the NAD ruled.

MillerCoors admitted to the NAD that this part of the campaign was “not a scientific taste test but a fun promotional campaign.” The brewer voluntarily agreed to pull the parts of the campaign in question, which included digital vignettes and influencer videos.

This allowed for the following spin from an AB InBev spokesman: “Anheuser-Busch appreciates NAD’s thoughtful analysis. We are encouraged by its finding that Miller Lite’s ‘Know Your Beer’ campaign, in all forms, misrepresented itself as an unbiased taste test, conveying a consumer preference for its beer that was entirely unsupported by fact.”

If you’re still not done with your holiday gift shopping, maybe consider buying a pair of Apple Socks? Or the Apple Lickamaforbus? Or perhaps Apple’s new Handsome Anthony?

Usually the Bad Lip Reading channel on YouTube does a delightfully awful job of lip reading high-profile events, such as the royal wedding or Mark Zuckerberg’s Capitol Hill testimony, and relies solely on found footage for the visuals. But today, as a sort of early Christmas gift to all of us, BLR has released its take on an Apple product launch that includes actual shots of, uh, misinterpreted Apple gear. All of it seems must-haveand probably overpriced. Including Apple Toast (which we’re dying to try).
