Emerson’s and DDB New Zealand have recently launched the country’s first major activation campaign since March – Tiny Pub.

With a timely focus on Emerson’s founding ethos; allowing quality time to connect over a cold brew – the pint-sized pub will give Kiwis nationwide the opportunity to enjoy an uninterrupted one-on-one with an old mate.

Equipped to host a party of two and complete with a tiny dartboard, tiny piano, one bartender and a one item menu, Tiny Pub is one of the smallest pubs in New Zealand’s history.

Says Dave Pearce, General Manager, Craft-Lion, “Kiwis have realised just how much they’ve missed the simple pleasure of catching up with a friend for a beer. We have been craving the joy of uninterrupted face-to-face conversation, it’s uncomplicated and it builds an unhurried environment to properly enjoy a pint of Emerson’s – we wanted to capture that familiar feeling for Kiwis, through Tiny Pub.”

Pearce says the Tiny Pub has everything you need to enjoy the perfect beer – and nothing more.

Tiny Pub will be hitting the road on June 25 travelling to 9 sites nationwide between Auckland and Dunedin offering bookable 27 minute slots – the perfect amount of time to fully appreciate an Emerson’s pint.

Says Gary Steele, Executive Creative Director DDB New Zealand, “Kiwis are reconnecting with a deeper appreciation for social activities that may have been taken for granted in a pre-lockdown world. Emerson’s is not for drinking on your own, it’s there as a rewarding excuse to catch up with mates – the Tiny Pub campaign invites New Zealanders to simply take some time out to practice the art of genuine human connection.”

The nationwide tour will be supported by a 2:30” film showcasing two long lost mates reconnecting with an overdue pint at the pub, there will also be 30”, 15” 6” cutdowns, OOH, social media and PR.

48-hours after launch all 9 Tiny Pub locations nationwide, were booked out by friends, ready to catch up.
