Culture is Worth Investing In

The assignment was to emphasize the fact that Karlovačko beer uses 100-percent Croatian barley, not the imported one. The idea came about from the fact that barley is a cultured crop, and culture in itself is not often the theme of beer campaigns. So this is a campaign about the only culture Croats enjoy on a daily basis.

The word culture has opened up a broad playing field with the existing phrases that use the word, and the video ads star typical beer consumers in a bit different roles, as good and passionate experts in culture.

The campaign title, Culture is Worth Investing In, bears a double meaning: it speaks of Karlovačko beer as a long-term investor in Croatian barley as a cultured crop, while showing men who have obviously invested in their cultural knowledge and became respected members of society :)
