Coors Light Gets a Case of the Mondays

As Coors said in their recent ad, today is the worst Monday of the year, as football fans nationwide face the official end of football season until fall — not to mention all those disappointed Chiefs fans.

Capitalizing on this collective mood with a timely marketing campaign, Coors Light has temporarily rebranded as “Mondays Light” in a strategic move to literally allow consumers to buy a case of the Mondays. The limited-time promotion features specially designed 12-packs replacing “Coors” with “Mondays” on the packaging, available at retailers nationwide.

The campaign rollout included attention-grabbing elements, such as advertisements in the New York Times and a Times Square billboard that misspelled “refreshment” as “refershment.” When questioned about the error, Coors Light responded with a statement blaming it on a case of the Mondays – referencing the popular phrase from the 1999 film “Office Space.”

This marketing initiative comes at a crucial time for Molson Coors, as the beer industry faces significant headwinds due to changing consumer preferences and spending habits. According to Circana data, beer retail sales decreased 0.6% to $45.65 billion in 2024, with the domestic premium category dropping 5.5%. Coors Light specifically saw sales decline nearly 2% to $2.7 billion last year, with volume dropping 3.5%.

The campaign also coincides with Molson Coors’ Super Bowl commercial, marking their third year of participation since Anheuser-Busch’s exclusivity deal ended in 2022.
