Molson deals with Web wipe-out
Article Abstract:
Molson Breweries still has to determine why its award-winning Web site went offline, causing the loss of personal data on 30,000 members of the I AM online community. The site collapsed on July 27, 1998, due to the crash of two independent servers, which contained graphics and page layouts and messages and user data, respectively. The site has been relaunched on Aug. 11, 1998, and has so far obtained responses from so-called Molsonites who are complying with the company's request for their user name, real name, e-mail address, estimated number of logins and initial joining date.

Molson uses print to go broad
Article Abstract:
Molson Breweries of Canada Ltd of Toronto, Ontario, opted to place ads on daily newspapers for the broader launch of its ultralight Diamond brand. The ads appeared in the form of teasers on publications in cities where the beer brand was to be distributed and directed readers to watch for the official launch over ONtv. Afterwards, the brewery again used newspapers to formally launch Diamond.
