Carlsberg UK has launched the second half of its World Cup advertising campaign in the country, featuring England manager Fabio Capello on its in-store packaging.

Paul Davies, director of brands, said: “Carlsberg UK is very proud to have an icon like Fabio Capello and his team on its on-pack in the run-up to the World Cup.
“Our “Probably the best team talk in the world” campaign has caught the imagination of the England’s fans, with over 100,000 people having visited www.englandteamtalk.com already,” Davies said.
The packs will replace the ‘team talk’ promotional packaging that was used for the first half of Carlsberg’s World Cup marketing activity, which offered fans an opportunity to meet some England players.
Carlsberg UK is also lining up the launch of a TV advertising campaign involving a number of “English sporting legends”, the unit said.
