Understand
Foundation 1
Inspiration only comes from understanding
Modern Romanians are complex….
• Apparently Latin and Group Orientated – at least feel the need to be accepted by the group…BUT… at the same time fiercely Individualistic and driven
• Strong sense of self belief and confidence…BUT...little confidence in their fellow Romanians
• Want to move forward in life and achieve more than previous generations did (or could!)…BUT...afraid that they’ll have to compromise values or the correct way of doing things to do so
• Looking for re-enforcement from Romanian sources…BUT…highly critical / sceptical of Romanian success stories
There are universal icons that hold a coveted position in the hearts of Modern Romanians
Danube Delta – UNESCO heritage area – Best of Romania
Nadia
Sporting icon
Best of Romania
Brancusi
Sculptor
Best of Romania
URSUS is recognised as one of RO’s best
• Best Romanian beer with most international awards– Excellent specialities (NA & Black)
• Innovative – First true national beer– First RO brand in green bottle – First “special” packs for RO brand– High spec and intriguing advertising
• One of the few PREMIUM Romanian brands– Leader in premium entertainment / ON premise
The sweet spot brings these 2 together
Modern Romanians believe in themselves
and even if they struggle sometimes,
they are determined to progress in life in the
right way, through skill and hard work.
They are looking for reinforcement given by Romanian role models.
Values: Wants to do great things in the right way; belief in the importance of progress

Our belief is that if you set out to do “Marketing”, in time you will fail
Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.
People have forgotten how to tell a story.
Stories don’t have a middle or an end anymore. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
Steven Spielberg
Inspired by a giant failure…who became the world’s greatest storyteller
Our team goal was obvious
Archetypes
Creator
Explorer
Innocent
Jester
Lover
Ruler
Magician
Regular Guy
Outlaw
Sage
Hero/warrior
Caregiver
All great stories tend to revolve around classic archetypes
The Ruler archetype
• The Ruler knows that the best thing to do to avoid chaos is to take control.
• Materials are meant to last and suggest timelessness.
• The Ruler acts with a natural sense of authority that makes it easy for others to follow
him. He helps individuals become wealthy and powerful.
• The Ruler’s relationships are stable. He takes responsibility for himself, his family, his surrounding, and society in general.
• The Ruler represents success; he is able to chose and create his own lifestyle. He knows how to satisfy his needs, but he is always considerate of others.
• The Ruler is ready to accept both his victories and his failures. He does not blame others.
• The Ruler is the model of ideal behaviour in society and has a harmonious personality.
• The Ruler is a realist and has illusions neither about himself nor possible danger.
• The Ruler leads and inspires.
What is the story?
The story of a brand that always has had a simple but challenging Ambition
Produce the Best Romanian Beer
The story that the brand recognises and respects in other Romanians
Inspiring RO Life Journeys
Ambition to go higher, further, beyond.
Stand Out Our Stories don’t look like other beer ads
Foundation 3
We wanted to hear the stories of Modern Romanians
• URSUS journeys always start with an ambition and a dream
• They often start in unusual or humble places
We then wanted to share the brand story
That was Florin Serban’s first commercial…we wanted to work with him because..
• URSUS supports the “Best of Romania”
It’s about the team!
