VB Beer: Cry

“Cry”, using Neil Diamond’s Hello Again, is the first ad in the new VB “Real” campaign. The new campaign was developed from insights pointing to an increasingly superficial society, and asks men to take an honest look at themselves and pose the question, have I gone too far? From photo-shopping Facebook profile photos to skinny jeans and plastic surgery, the campaign showcases that, while superficiality will always exist, men have a real desire to be authentic.
