Kronenbourg 1664 - Le Big Swim





Agency: Ogilvy London
Role: Writer, Original Concept
  Directed by Ivan Zacharias

How do you get the British to agree that a beer from France is the best in the world?
With a little help from the one French export Britons adore: Manchester United
legend Eric Cantona.

We got Eric to issue an impossible challenge on social media - and the way he
lived up to it took the whole country by surprise.

The Kronenbourg 1664 campaign generated 105+ articles of press coverage
and got 23 million views in the UK. It was also 2015's number one social
FMCG campaign in the UK according to The Grocer.
