How Dos Equis Made 'Interesting' a Brand Identity

This ad from Dos Equis shows the brand’s iconic 'Most Interesting Man in the World' campaign at its best. Rather than selling beer, it sells a lifestyle—one that’s bold, confident, and anything but boring. The image positions Dos Equis as the beer for people with stories to tell, not just people drinking to pass time.

Why it works

It flips the script by mocking 'boring' as a choice.
The copy uses ordinary items like 'mild salsa' and 'khakis' to make being boring sound hilariously tragic.
The mystery and charisma of the central figure draw attention—viewers want to be him, or at least drink what he drinks.
