  • Description of the Project:
  • Our research revealed that our target did actually have a brain and was rather irked by the clichés and sophomoric humor employed by much of the category. We sniffed an opportunity.
Inspired by this insight, Dos Equis turned the category conventions on their heads. In place of Joe Drinker with an easily relatable lifestyle, we created the Most Interesting Man in the World (MIM), dashingly attired in Hemingway-style suits, situated in highly exotic and intriguing locales.
