[edit] Advertising

Metz was promoted with the "Freelance Scientist" advert staring Julian Barratt as scientist explaining that Metz caused 'Judders' as well as the "Forrest" advert directed by Enda McCallion and featuring the Judderman.

[edit] Judderman

The Judderman is the central character in "Forrest", an advert for Metz. An elf creature, the Judderman waylays innocent travellers and tempts them to taste the alcohol, at which they 'judder' due to its being served cold.

[edit] Man in the Mask

Prior to these advertisements, came an advert based on a single character in a red balaclava, doing a piece to camera, in snowy, cold, mountain background. The slogan for the series of adverts was "why does the man in the mask drink Metz". One of the more memorable adverts was the explaination that "everytime a stranger enters the village and drinks metz, they all wonder if it is me, without my mask on" <leans towards camera> "one time, it was"
