Miller Chill is Heating Up

bottle of miller chill Miller Brewing Company‘s newest beverage, Miller Chill, is sweeping the nation. It already has been a hit in parts of the Sun Belt where it was distributed for testing, and, now that it has gone national, it is really grabbing people by the taste buds.

Ad Flip

It is interesting to look through the ads and see how they have changed and/or stayed the same. Also, if you are in advertising or in school this is a good site to get ideas from or research the evolution of the printed advertisement.

My First Ad in Production

This isn’t the greatest and didn’t have the best results, but it’s the first ad I’ve ever had out in the mainstream. It is a simply two sided flier which I handed out in a shirt and tie on a Wednesday and a Thursday in two lunch hot spots.
