Write a short summary of what happens in the radio advert

“I’m Drinking It For You” was a full length love ballad released on every major music platform, just as a traditional song would be. The song launched Valentine’s Day and focused around the line “I don’t need two hands to hold you.” It turned the act of drinking a low carb beer into the ultimate selfless gift, something you do for the other people in your life rather than yourself. The narrative of the song followed a regular Kiwi couple as they sung about all the romantic everyday things they could do for each other with one hand, the key act being drinking lower carbs. The song was supported by live performances, radio interviews, remixes, performance tutorials, karaoke, covers, and an online tool that digitized our singers’ voices to let drinkers write their own lyrics to send to their significant other.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

In New Zealand’s masculine beer culture, watching your weight is considered vain and self-involved. To successfully launch DB Export Gold’s new low carb variant, we needed to side-step this stigma to give everyone a reason, and an excuse, to enjoy our beer. We took a different tact to our competitors - avoiding their functional, health centric messaging, and instead focusing on what drinking a low-carb beer benefit that was more appropriate culturally and tonally for New Zealand.
