Groups of Friends Wanted for Ultimate Miller Time “Internship”

MILLER LITE LOGOVince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are taking on a dream internship this summer. They’re not the only ones.

Miller Lite is partnering with 20th Century Fox’s summer comedy movie “The Internship,” which arrives in theaters everywhere June 7 and stars Vaughn and Wilson.

Inspired by the film, Miller Lite is going to give four legal-drinking-age friends the experience of a lifetime: A two-week Miller Time “Internship” that will take them across the country for a series of special Miller Lite events.

The winners of the two-week “internship” will travel in a customized Miller Time “Internship” RV that will feature all the elements of a great “mancave,” stopping in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Instead of filing papers and fetching coffee, they’ll deliver beer to the hottest pool party in Vegas, go behind the scenes to see how Miller Lite is brewed, become honorary members of Brad Keselowski ‘s pit crew on race day and walk the red carpet in Los Angeles for the premiere of “The Internship.

“Our partnership with ‘The Internship’ film led us to wonder, what would a dream internship with Miller Lite look like?” said Ryan Reis, senior director of marketing for Miller Lite.

“Miller Time is all about great times over a beer with good friends, so the winners had to be a group of friends rather than an individual. And to deliver on the great times part of that equation, we’re going to fill their internship with the type of experiences only Miller Lite can deliver.”

A panel of judges will select 15 groups from the initial pool of entries for the Miller Time “Internship.” Groups that are selected will participate in a screening via an online video conference or in person at MillerCoors headquarters in Chicago.

The winning group will hit the road for the Miller Time “Internship” from approximately May 17 through May 30.

Miller Lite launched the entry process for the Miller Time “Internship” at the festival in Austin, with the help of actors Josh Brener, Josh Gad and Max Minghella, all of whom star in “The Internship.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Miller Lite on ‘The Internship’,” said Zachary Eller , senior vice president, marketing partnerships and promotions at 20th Century Fox Films.

“Their program, with a total 360-degree activation through media, packaging, on-premise and digital channels, is going to generate enormous excitement about the movie with their consumers. The Miller Lite ‘Internship’ program is a smart and fun way to engage fans. We think Miller Lite and the film is a great brand fit.”

The Miller Lite partnership with “The Internship” is being supported with TV and out-of-home advertising, retail point-of-sale materials, digital marketing and public relations.
