Smoke and Mirrors New York and @radical.media’s Tarsem create the beertastic world for BBH and brew masters at Miller Lite. The ever-elusive Beer Heaven is revealed to our hero, Mark as he spots the descending stairwell into the promised-land. What he finds is a bar where the taps and shelves are fully stocked with the perfect combination of taste and refreshment. Mark is the star of the bar – everyone knows his name and the barstool reflects that notion. SMNY had the responsibility of making sure Beer Heaven lived up to its name by creating an environment complete with a TV-inlaid air hockey table, and a moving pool table pocket that allows players to sink the shot every time. Mark likes Miller Lite beer, and the collaboration between all involved made a world where he gets what he wants.
