Alan McGarrie, head of UK brand marketing at Tennent’s, said: “Tennent’s is here to serve the nation, and that means making sure Scots who’ve flown the nest are supplied with Scotland’s favourite lager on International Beer Day. So, if your mates have started to say lake instead of loch, or they’re asking if you caught the cricket at the weekend – get on to our Facebook and nominate them to receive a refreshing taste of Scotland.
McGarrie added: “If you’ve got any English or Welsh mates who need to reconsider their lager choices, that’s fine too. We’re here to solve problems for Scotland first, but we’ve got a lot of love for our neighbours south of the border. International Beer Day is about getting the beers in for your mates, even if they don’t live in the same city. We’ve got a long history of sending our beer to far-flung places, so we’re the only ones who could pull this off today.”
Tennent’s launched Here to Serve, which was developed by Lucky Generals and is its most comprehensive marketing campaign to date, in June with a series of activations based around the Scotland vs England World Cup Qualifier fixture. It followed this up with a new YouTube series titled Will it Fry, which was inspired by the viral YouTube show ‘Will it Blend’.
