Stella Artois recently launched a new summer ad campaign titled ‘You’re Never Too Far From the Life Artois.’ The summer ad campaign focuses on daydreaming and features a short YouTube video with Eva Longoria, Liev Schreiber as well as Blake Griffen. Stella Artois’ created the ad in collaboration with an agency named Pereira O’Dell, and it was directed by Paul Hunter.
Stella Artois also partnered with TripAdvisor in an effort to help people make the most of canceled vacations. People who have had a vacation canceled due to COVID-19 can share a story with the ‘Stella Staycation Swap.’ Those selected will be able to plan a dream staycation, instead of their original travel plans from before the pandemic.
