Hoping to reverse a sales decline, Foster’s Lager is charging its new creative shop, Ogilvy & Mather, with expanding the “Australian for beer” campaign into new terrain via “escapist” imagery, said client rep Scott Bussen.

The approach, noted Bussen, has worked for one of Foster’s biggest imported-beer rivals, No. 1 seller Corona, which shows vacationers lounging on tropical beaches in ads tagged, “Miles away from ordinary.”

“Foster’s offers some great imagery in terms of the Australian heritage,” Bussen said.
