Beer brand Heineken has launched this touching campaign, co-created by creative agencies LePub and Publicis Dublin, to help independent Irish pub owner, Josie McLoughlin, find a new successor.
The film, directed by Dermot Malone through Banjoman Films, introduces us to Joseph ‘Josie’ McLoughlin who owns McLoughlin’s Bar on the rural Achill Island. Situated at the edge of the world, the pub rests against the backdrop of the wild, beautiful landscape of West Ireland.
Like many families in Ireland, Josie’s kin now live all over the world and he has no-one to pass the pub on to. So now, at retirement age, Heineken is helping him look for a namesake to take over the running of the pub and keep the family name above the door.
