8849: Lights Out For Coors Light Campaign.


Laura Martinez examined the Coors Light campaign that managed to offend Puerto Ricans in New York. The brewer wound up pulling the work after the complaints grew louder. Can’t help but wonder if the campaign came from Coors Light AOR Draftfcb—the home of
