Top Secret Campaign for Ethel's Beer

Cut+Run’s Joel Miller Tapped for Campaign for Beer that Took Over Cannes

 

Cut+Run’s Joel Miller was enlisted by agency DDB to edit spots for a top-secret campaign for Ethel’s, a little known beer brand that was about to take over Cannes. The spots were part of an elaborate and clever self-promotion for the agency disguised as a true product launch, complete with spots, print, party sponsorship social media and custom ordered and designed bottled brew. 
 
The digital spots were shot on D5, Alexa and 8mm and then treated in Flame to make it look as if the footage was shot on VHS, Hi8 video for a home-spun aesthetic. The same was true for the edit, forcing Miller to “work against my training and experience” to employ awkward cuts for a hand-hewn feel. In other words: painful, but in a good way.

“It’s always great to work with Mark Denton and Sara Cummins from Coy Communications and DDB NY gave us creative license to make the digital spots as crazy as possible,” says Joel Miller. “It was fun to keep it all secret and then to see what the response was once the cat was let out of the bag.”
