Liz Hickson, marketing director at Crown commented, "It’s an exciting time for Crown as we embark on a new strategic direction which we are confident will make an impact on the whole sector. In BJL we also saw a vision and enthusiasm for our fabulous stable of brands which resonated with the whole team here."

Congrats to BJL. Back in the day BDH did some great work for Crown, including the paint rain drops and the old Breathe-easy ad was probably the best TV ad the agency ever did.
Shame it didn't go to Driven. I was looking forward to a singing pot of emulsion.
