Coors Brewing Company Unveils 2006 Advertising; The Love Train Rolls On and Keystone Light Joins the Party.


GOLDEN, Colo. -- Coors Brewing Company (NYSE NYSE

See: New York Stock Exchange
: TAP)(TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002)
TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index
TSX True Space Extension
: TAP) revealed the newest advertising creative for Coors Light, Coors Banquet, Keystone Light and Molson Canadian at the annual Coors distributor convention in Houston today. Creative work by Foote Cone & Belding, Chicago; Bromley Communications; Carol H. Williams Advertising and The Integer integer: see number; number theory  Group was presented.

The new Coors Light advertising campaign continues to ride the success of the popular Silver Bullet silver bullet - magic bullet  Train. The latest spots will bring the train to even more engaging and surprising locations in 2006. The series will reinforce that no matter what the occasion, Coors Light always delivers the ultimate in cold refreshment.

"The essence of Coors Light marketing is delivering on the promise of Rocky Mountain cold refreshment to our consumers on every occasion," said Andy England, chief marketing officer for Coors Brewing Company. "In everything we do this year, we will invite beer drinkers to immerse im·merse

1. To cover completely in a liquid; submerge.

2. To baptize by submerging in water.

3.
 themselves in the unique cold taste of Coors Light."

Keystone Light makes a rather smooth return to television advertising in 2006 with two national spots that will bring humor humor, according to ancient theory, any of four bodily fluids that determined man's health and temperament. Hippocrates postulated that an imbalance among the humors (blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile) resulted in pain and disease, and that good health was  to tricky social situations. The ads emphasize that Keystone Light always goes down smooth, even when life does not.

In new advertising, Molson Canadian is portrayed as the import that is welcome at every occasion from a party with friends to a family dinner. The Coors Banquet creative focuses on the fact that 90% of every beer is water and showcases the appeal of the clear, cold Rocky Mountain water used to brew Coors Banquet.

"Building strong brands is our number one marketing priority," said England. "Our advertising creative, promotions and packaging are all based on understanding our consumers and conveying each brand's unique point of difference and positioning."

The television spots will be complemented by a full marketing mix of promotions, radio, print, interactive and outdoor advertising. Following are some of the spots slated to air throughout 2006:
