Miller Beer Ad Agency Has Connections To MoveOn.Org
Beer (& More) In Food ^ | 9-26-2007 | Bob Skilnik

Miller Beer has a connection to MoveOn.org: Most of MoveOn’s commercials are made by experienced operatives at a left-wing advertising firm in Santa Monica, California.

The firm of Zimmerman & Markman occupies a small suite of offices in a four-story building a few blocks from the beach. Bill Zimmerman, the agency’s strategist, has a PhD in psychology and got his start in politics registering black voters in Mississippi in 1962. He worked with Jane Fonda on anti-Vietnam War mobilization and has played a role in drug decriminalization campaigns. Pacy Markman, the agency’s copywriter, had a long career in commercial advertising (he wrote the indelible slogan “Miller Lite: everything you always wanted in a beer, and less”)...

Miller products will never see the insides of my 3 beer-dedicated refrigerators.

First homos in San Fran, and now this.

Uh - it sounds like they just use the same advertising agency. So their ad agency has connections to moveon ... so what? I’m sure a few of the moveon wackos even drink Miller Beer ... and probably Coca Cola, too.

I don’t see the problem here.

So what? This is as much of a stretch as the libscum saying Fred litigated for terrorists because his firm took the Lybian bombers as clients. Too remote to matter.

(Hint: Ad agencies have lots of clients. Some of them might even disagree about some stuff.)

I wish I drank Millers so I could switch.

More Coors Light...unless they're bad guys too.

"Miller products will never see the insides of my 3 beer-dedicated refrigerators.",

Same here, but more for the fact that their product is swill than anything else.

I stopped drinking Miller Beer in the 1970s. It tasted like nasty then.

I am supposed to get angry at a company because they utilize the same ad agency as MoveOn?

How many other layers of connections should I sift through before I determine if a company is OK to do business with?

Should I boycott a company who once leased a space from a company that previously used an ad agency that employed a guy who voted democrat?
