Tagline The Cream of Manchester
Story A woman rubs Boddingtons cream on her face before her boyfriend arrives to take her out on a date.
Philosophy We decided to celebrate the brand’s Manchester roots and the product characteristic that most sets it apart from conventional Southern beers – its creaminess. The campaign also aimed to use a distinctively northern tone of voice and a consistent branded look.
Problem When Whitbread bought Boddingtons in 1989, 80% of the brand’s sales were in the North West region. Whitbread wanted to grow Boddingtons beyond its heartland, without alienating its fans.
