Chicago-based multicultural agency Commonground/MGS, which opened up shop in NYC at the end of 2013, is back with a new spot for Coors Light that aims to recharge the beer brand and is, hence, aptly dubbed “reFRESH.” The black & white :30 ad, buoyed by a bouncy EDM-tinged thump, manages to squeeze in a host of influencers from hip-hop and street art circles who seem to be having much more fun than we are at the moment.
The likes of global graffiti maestro Bik-Ismo, former Kanye West manager/DJ Don C and Big Sean/Drake producer DJ Dahi grace the screen in a spot that marks a distinct change of pace for a brand that’s normally relied on mountains, streams and a folksy VO to sell its wares. Here’s hoping for more MillerCoors refreshment from Commonground MGS, which also works with the likes of Verizon and Coca-Cola.
