So, whats up everyone?
Here is the new ad of Phoenix, our mauritian beer.
I find the advert very original, really fresh ideas.
I love the music with the tabla!

Hi there,
well well…. the tone should be platonic… since we have to bear in mind that alcohol advertising will be banned as from 01st March 2009…
Be prepared for over-exposure of alcohol ads in the press, radio and TV these last weeks…
By the way, the strategy behind this ad is: make Mauritian identify themselves within the country and everything… It is OUR Country, and ‘Marchand Colporteur’forms part of the Mauritian culture, or should i say tradition!!!!
That is why, even if you are far away, you will feel nostalgic about Mauritius and our Mauritian Beer…
This ad plays a lot on feelings/emotions to make people buy-in more of Phoenix Beer even after the alcohol ban…
I think i have written quite a lot for you to reflect on guys…
Regards
Zaynah

Oh, i forgot to comment on the fact that Circus allowed you to upload this video on your blog… Great Step from Circus towards opening up to new technologies and the company would be most grateful to you as this would cut their advertising budget!!!
well, you should know that NOW, all NEW means of Communication will be good for the advertisers of alcohol products in Mauritius. in fact, this will ensure that the ad will still be visible by internet savvy people even after the ban on alcohol ad!!!

Love the video scanning different aspects of Mauritian life. I like the idea of the Phoenix bottle because glass is recycable.

Yeah, the voice should have shown more enthusiasm when describing these things that are very dear to us.
Great ad! 😀
Will it be shown on TV? Isn’t there a ban or something on alcohol spots??

Good and bad, bad for the creativity of advertising companies since the phoenix adverts have always been so unique.

Hi Yashvin,
to my knowledge, the consumption of alcohol in public places will surely be banned as from the 1st March 2009. There is still some issue around the ban on alcohol ban for the 1st March 2009. It will depend on the govt….
Anyway, as Tommy puts it, it is a video to promote Mauritius… and in a certain way, even if they remove the Phoenix in it(when and if the law is enforced), you will still relate the product to the ad…
Marchand ambulant: sa forme parti nous culture sa!!!! C juste 1 facon pour accroche le produit a son public sa… c a dire Phoenix forme parti de la culture mauricienne…

This is bloody fantastic. I shall definitely buy some bottles of “nou la biere Phoenix” tonight! This ad is very pleasant.
I do not recall much of ads on TV – was there another beer ad about two African dudes seeing snow fall for the first time ever? That was cool too.
* I’m rating this entry with 3 stars 🙂 *
P.S
“Trou aux Cerfs so trou!!!!* ROFLMAO! Does anyone know where I can buy “Gateaux Moutailles”? What does “dix sept” (17) mean?

Hello all…
I really enjoyed this ad…watched it first time at ABC cinema…imagine the ad on the big screen.. really enjoyed it..I think its very original and the dialogues are also cool…you can easily guess a mauritian promoting mauritius etc. The images are well chosen and its like visiting Mauritius in an aerial view in 1m30!!
I enjoyed those:
Trou aux cerfs so trou
siloy 17 35..dans bois ki ena di bois
Pudding 4hr di matin kot gool
Boulette la rue royal haha
prem arts so design- the slightest things are included in the ad..nice
flic en flac so lagon
ene special route mon choisy!! lol
chawtharee gamat etc…
Everything said is really very unique to MRU and everything is well said..no exageration…everything really exist!! lol
cheers…

@ vicks: that’s EXACTLY what the ad meant to do: not talk about the beer spefically.
The fact that the ad does not spend a lot of time talking about the Beer especially demonstrates that the Beer is BIG: it’s part and parcel of Mauritius. (that’s advertisment for you!) just like Trou aux cerfs so trou. siloy 17 35..dans bois ki ena di bois, Pudding 4hr di matin kot gool, Boulette la rue royal, prem arts so design, flic en flac so lagon, ene special route mon choisy, jug gokool, etc – the ad only ‘mentions’ these and does not ‘describe them’, and WE ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS …. it does not need to elaborate… it puts the beer ‘there’ with all these other …. same ‘importance’, part and parcel of Mauritius!!
I’m not into adverts ….but this is a classic! Well done to whoever thought of this concept.
