Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio execution or campaign.

Please check: http://justdidit.eu/BeerReviews YouTube is filled with beer reviews: videos made by beer-enthusiasts from all over the world, sharing their honest findings about beer brands. We discovered that most of those Youtube reviews were exclusively positive when it comes to the classic Carlsberg Lager pilsner. In fact, some of them sounded so much like an ad for Carlsberg that, well, we turned them into ads for Carlsberg. Important notice!! no beer reviewer was paid! We asked their permission, but all youtube reviews you hear are completely unbiased and taken as such, from Youtube (which explains the poor 'voice acting' quality). Probably the most honest radio campaign.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Do you know those people on Youtube who taste all kind of beer brands just to give their honest findings about it? YouTube Beer reviewers! If you don't, you should search it. It's a huge community. When we checked those reviews for Carlsberg pilsner, we found out that almost all of them were positive. In fact, they were so positive that we used them for Carlsberg ads. As such, unbiased, taken from YouTube.

Thomas Metal 75 - 45” Beer reviewer: I’m Thomas Metal 75. ‘Got an old standard here: Carlsberg. It smells goddamn pleasant. I love it. It is… it’s good. It’s got a mild sweetness and I find it to be extremely refreshing as all hell. If it were my choice going into a beer store and I didn’t know what to buy, I would always turn to Carlsberg. Till next time! Prost, cheers, happy drinking. V.O. This completely objective YouTube review by ‘Thomas Metal 75’ sounds so much like an ad for our beer, that we used it as an ad for our beer. Carlsberg. Probably the best beer in the world.
