It also features a never before streamed track produced by Idris himself.

The ad, created by VaynerMedia, will be broadcast nationally in 15-second and 30-second spots throughout the summer. And social platforms that appeal to the brand’s key consumer passion points of food, entertainment and lifestyle will be fed it as well.

Marketing Dive explains Stella Artois summer campaign as attempting to refresh its image in ways that make the brand more “relatable.” The brand is tackling the idea of “usual,” this summer by positioning Stella Artois as a way to turn the ordinary into something special.

Using the #SummerLikeVacation hashtag, Stella Artois will be hitting summer beer drinkers on social with a series of humorous “vacation” scenarios that aren’t always what they seem.
