Brazilian beers hot for ChinaPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 5:22 PM
This is from Danwei's Brazilian correspondent IN Hsieh: China's the center of attention everywhere and it's no different in Brazil. Funny thing is that Brazilian beers have become really fond of using China in their advertisements. Skol commercial Brahma commercial Brahma beer (which is also produced by InBev and is available in China) broadcast this commercial when China entered the New Year on January 1, 2007. Translation of dialogue: - Brahma beer entered 2007 in China. - It's world's largest population. - Man, imagine if every Chinese had a Brahma to celebrate? - No, brother! - They would drink all the Brahma in the word! There is also a screen shot of another Brahma ad featuring a Chinese girl in a qi pao bikini here. UPDATE:There is an ad for the business section of a Brazilian newspaper featuring Mao Zedong and the ten yuan note here. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Brazilian beers hot for China
Dude! It makes perfect sense... it's all about the energy...
Blah, blatant commercialism....
Well I dunno what they are doing elsewhere in China, but Skol has been widely available in HK for some time now, this very well may have been produced for that market long before it was broadcast in Brazil.
nope, skol has an entirely different marketing strategy for UK targeting a very different demographic. last I saw, they were still making use of Hagar the Horrible
The creative idea is wonderful - Perfect mix between the Chinese traditional culture and the nowadays type parties promotion - More the emphasis on the promoted beer rises up - The marketing strategy is different from what we see normally in China but still reconizable since using a national renowned character - Hagar the Horrible -
