Summary
Victoria Bitter faced two challenges heading into the key summer period. 1) Drive renewed cultural relevance. 2) Turn this cultural relevance into sales. To succeed, the 172-year-old brand tapped into another timeless cultural icon - The Ashes. With England heading down under, VB saw an opportunity to play the helpful host, printing a reminder of the rules on their cans, and refreshing them at every opportunity. Aussies got a kick out of it, VB owned the cultural conversation throughout the summer of cricket and smashed its sales targets for six.
