Coopers doubles down on pub culture with Special’s “forever original” flex

Ryan Fitzgerald: ‘There’s no better canvas for originality.’

Coopers Brewery has launched the next chapter of its ‘Forever Original’ brand platform via Special and EXIT.

“For some, there’s no better canvas for originality than the pool table at their local. Flair reigns, physics bends and the rules melt away,” said Special ECD Ryan Fitzgerald.

“In these moments, there’s no better beer to raise than a Coopers because originals drink original.”

The spot is set in a classic Australian pub with a character playing pool like no one’s watching.

“With this iteration of ‘Forever Original’, we’re excited to include the punters that drink us, while celebrating the confidence that comes from being independent and truly yourself,” said Coopers brand manager Jessica Douglas.

The campaign is rolling out nationally across broadcast, cinema, OOH, digital and social.
