Newcastle Makes Billboard Debut with Smoothness Authority Campaign

Newcastle dips its toe into national print media with a gargantuan effort orchestrated by VitroRobertson. To add personality to the popular brown ale they’re focusing on out-of-box interactive efforts, like these smoothie and tango ads promoting the beer’s smoothness.

Billboard-to-print versions like Snake Farm and Golf Academy present the interactivity opportunity with phone numbers that, when called, allow consumers to audibly experience a smoothness authority lauding the beer.

Our local library had a similar call-in service for children who wanted stories read to them but whose parents were too busy. We hope there isn’t any confusion. Imagine the potential havoc of all those latchkey kids calling beer people for a soothing morality tale.
