Lucky Saint | B Corp™ has relaunched its Dry January campaign, playing on its namesake with religious-inspired imagery to encourage people to switch their choice of beer in January and beyond, rather than not drink at all. The brand is Alcohol Free’s official beer of Dry January, with 9m Brits claim to be taking part this year. Working with esteemed photographer Rankin, the ads can be seen throughout London with 6 sheets, cross-track 48 sheets and bus T-sides.
Why we love it!
Described by the Lucky Saint CMO as ‘fresh consistency’, the campaign reuses distinctive brand-led creative for a second year with tweaked copy, focusing on building a high frequency to embed the brand in people's memory and increase purchase intent as a result. The third year in a row as Dry January's official beer, they’ve evolved the partnership with new touchpoints including a Strava challenge and free pint giveaway to get punters into pubs in January, prompting product trial without the need for product-focused ads.
About Media Positive: At Craft Media, we're passionate about strategic comms planning, so much so that we celebrate other agency's amazing work! While we didn't plan this campaign it's a great example of advertising that cuts through. Great job Lucky Saint and the teams that worked on this!

Here it comes - the marketing and corporatization of PBR. The authenticity and appeal of this sport is now under threat.
