Right now, it’s the “No Bollocks” campaign by Newcastle Brown Ale. It is branding genius.

About a year-and-a-half ago, New York City ad agency Droga5 won the Newcastle Brown Ale account.
And since then, one of the best campaigns in beer advertising history has been rolled out across all media.
The "No Bollocks" tagline is perfect: It gives you a taste of the beer's blue collar British heritage without cramming it down your throat, and it serves as a challenger brand positioning against pretty much every other beer in the world.
It's especially brilliant when placed side-by-side with the bad, base beer advertising of America's big spenders Budweiser, Coors, and Miller.
Enough of this bollocks, on to the advertising.
First, the TV spots.
"Miners"
A positively brilliant TV commercial.
"Big Machines"
These :15 spots using still photos cost almost nothing to produce.
But their impact is big and memorable.
