Not all Canadians may love its beer, but when it comes to marketing the Olympic Games, Molson is running a clever campaign. First it was the beer fridge at Canada House that only opened with a Maple Leaf-encrusted passport. Soon stories were everywhere, helped by a catchy video.

Olympic athletes couldn’t resist getting in on the action.

But Molson was determined to place in one of the toughest competitions around: Twitter. The @molson_canadian account has pumped out cheeky graphics to commemorate seemingly every occasion.
