13. Even as NBB decided to speak to a wider audience through a new medium, the roots-style marketing that launched the company could not be abandoned • It became even more important to speak to the insiders who helped build the brand in the same authentic and personal tone they had come to know and embrace

In advertising, brewers have always added irreverence, quirkiness and silliness but with strong instinctive understanding of their own brand. • Like NBB, other brewers are showing signs that they are ready to fulfill their role in the industry better than ever

17. CONCLUSION • NBB’s first television-based advertising campaign, approached with great deal of inner reflection, mirrored well the craft brewer’s personality. • It aimed directly at a youthful demographic. • NBB positioned itself as whimsical, thoughtful and reflective

18. CONTINUATION... • At a time when marketers • are seeking ever-more insidious means to cut through the clutter, NBB chose to redefine a category in a very traditional medium where ads are acceptable and the rare good ones can still be groundbreaking, thoughtful and effective
