Whybin\TBWA\Tequila, Melbourne launches Old Mout New Zealand cider into Melbourne market
Whybin\TBWA\Tequila has this week unleashed New Zealand cider brand Old Mout Cider onto the streets of Melbourne.
A poster offering ‘free cider’ with a giant 3-meter square QR code is being driven up and down Chapel Street. The over sized QR code also appears in a guerrilla-style outdoor campaign targeting vacant shop-front windows, rock posters and traditional billboard sites.
Pedestrians who scan the code soon discover that the free cider is in fact one solitary bottle – given away daily to an unlikely winner. A secondary message then directs users to a bar or bottle-shop, within immediate walking distance, where an on-premise Old Mout Cider promotion runs that evening.
Says Scottie Chapman, co-owner and sales & marketing director of Old Mout Cider: “We’re an independent cider player from Nelson NZ, and in Australia we’re still very much a discovery brand — one that’s committed to growing our Melbourne presence and cider loving community. This is why the Whybin creative really hit the mark. It was high impact over a small commercial precinct, allowing us to drive traffic every day in the month of February to different bars and bottle shops. This was a double positive for us – raise awareness in a great Melbourne area, and promote the customers who support and sell Old Mout Cider.”
New winners and locations for the Old Mout Free-Cider trial will continue to be announced daily throughout February.

Ha, that’s darn funny.
QR code on a moving vehicle….well played, another great use of QR codes in Australia.
Operating in one of the slowest moving roads in Melbourne? Sure people won’t have any issues scanning that.
I saw one yesterday, the billboards are parked.
Pisser!
A mout had a different meaning where I grew up.
And you wouldn’t want to wrap your lips around an old one.
Doing it wrong.
That pretty good. Like!
C’mon guys, get a designer QR code – they all look the same otherwise
