Molson Coors is investing over £5 million in a new font for Carling, to strengthen its position as Britain’s favourite lager and enhance its prominence on the bar. The unique shape of the new font celebrates the pint as Carling delivers a modern and attractive design for licensees and their customers. The new font will be made available to tens of thousands of pubs, bars and clubs across the country.
Research carried out for Molson Coors has shown that the new font could deliver an extra £1,100 spent by consumers on Carling per bar over a year1.
The font has been designed to provide the very best pour and complements the new glassware launched in April. Together they ensure that Carling lives up to its ‘Brilliantly Refreshing’ billing from the first sip right to the bottom of the glass.
Jeremy Gibson, Carling Brand Director, said: “We are championing lager and invigorating the beer category, having invested in both new fonts and glassware this year. Carling is the UK’s bestselling lager, a position it has maintained for over three decades, and we’re committed to working with publicans and bar staff to ensure their customers get the perfect serve every time.”
To celebrate the dedication of bar staff to pouring the perfect pint of Carling, Molson Coors is searching for the landlords, landladies, barmen and women who go the extra mile for their customers. If you think you or a colleague fits the bill please post at www.facebook.com/carling or perhaps share a photo of the new font in action.
