Greene King has ramped up support for its IPA beer with a £2.5m spend.
The investment is funding the return of commercials from last year’s Grim Reaper campaign and will see the beer make its first appearance on Channel 5 with ads also running on Sky TV and more regional ITV stations than before.
The campaign will also be seen across cinemas in London and the south-east as the brewer looks to drive awareness of IPA’s new look packaging.
A spokesman said: “We are supporting the new look Greene King IPA with a £2.5m ad
campaign and promotional activity throughout 2003, more than twice the annual spend of competitor brands. The ‘Could you say no to another?’ advert will be at the centre of the campaign to help focus on the beer’s moreishness.”
