Havas NY Sends ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World’ to Space

By Erik Oster 

Havas Worldwide New York has revealed its latest spot for Dos Equis, the 30-second,  “The Most Interesting Man in the World Wins on Land, Sea, Air and Beyond.”

As implied by the title, the spot sees its titular character exploring beyond the confines of this planet as he finds himself playing video games with astronauts in space. His space travels are accompanied by a series of absurd claims to fame (like inventing skinny dipping and being able to slam a revolving door), as has become the campaign’s immediately familiar trademark, of course ending with the familiar “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis.” The brand is by now so synonymous with this campaign that there was no need to make the connection in the title of this post. Of course, that’s illustrative of how important the character has been to the brand. Every installation only furthers the association, and this will undoubtedly appease its fans until the next one, while those critical of, say, its casual objectification of women, are probably not in Dos Equis’ target demographic.
