Film Lions: Aussie Gold for Super Dry, silver for Volkswagen

Publicis Mojo Sydney for Hahn Super Dry and DDB Sydney for Soma Films won Lions in the Film category over the weekend at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity, picking up a gold and a silver respectively.

‘Super in, super out’, an ad which shows Super Dry being made by caricatures of people and objects deemed ‘super’, claimed the only Aussie gold from 92 entries. DDB Sydney took silver for its spot for the Volkswagen Tiguan – ‘Cross Country’ – where a couple on a camping trip check into a hotel without their camping mates knowing thanks to the car.

One of the favourites for a prize, Monkeys ECD’s ‘The Ship Song Project’ for the Sydney Opera House didn’t make the Film Lions shortlist.

The Grand Prix was taken out by Los Angeles crowd Creative Artists Agency and Nexus Productions for ‘Chipotle’ for Nexus Productions, which also won the grand prix for branded content.

New Hahn Super Dry campaign for Lion Nathan

Lion Nathan has unveiled its campaign for its premium low carb brand Hahn Super Dry, entitled ‘In the Spirit of Good Taste’.

The campaign features a TVC developed in partnership with BMF, with more executions to follow.

The tongue-in-cheek television executions use examples of particularly ‘bad taste’ to highlight the ‘great taste’ of Hahn Super Dry.

The campaign is based on the idea that how people define themselves is a constant work in progress: trying different things, clothes, perspectives – and even people – on for size.

“Hahn Super Dry is not only a great tasting beer – it’s a beer of great taste. This campaign calls on all Australians to let go of the things in their life that are no longer appropriate or acceptable and move on… in the spirit of good taste,” says Arno Lenior, Premium category director, Lion Nathan.

Hahn Super Dry is Lion Nathan’s largest premium low carb offering, and according to the company, the ‘In the Spirit of Good Taste’ creative aims to continue the irreverent Hahn brand personality and tone seen in previous campaigns for the trademark – including ‘Keep It Super’ and ‘Love Heart’ for Hahn Super Dry, and the award winning ‘Bean Bomb’ and ‘Spa Bomb’ for Hahn Premium Light.

“Aussies aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade when it comes to taste,
and the new ‘In the Spirit of Good Taste’ campaign shows that the great
taste of Hahn Super Dry gives them another opportunity to do just
that,” asserts Simon Langley, creative director of BMF.
