Beer In Ads #3668: Alfredo Leal For Miller Lite

March 15, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Monday’s ad is for “Miller Lite,” from 1984. This ad was made for the Miller Brewing Co., and was part of their long-running “Tastes Great!…Less Filling!” advertising campaign. It was created in 1973 by the McCann-Erickson Worldwide ad agency and was ranked by Advertising Age magazine as the eighth best advertising campaign in history. They were primarily television commercials but they did create print ads to support the TV spots. They began with a trend of using former athletes along with a few notable celebrities that continued throughout the campaign. This one features Mexican bullfighter and actor Alfredo Leal.
