Win win win - You have got the Power

As a child growing up in the 90s, I vividly remember the impact that the Tennent's Lager TV commercial had on me. It was a time when TV advertising held a unique power to captivate audiences, and one such advert that left an indelible mark on my memory was the Tennent's "You Have Got the Power" campaign.


The song "Win Win Win" was the centrepiece of this iconic commercial. Performed by a mysterious group known as "You Have Got the Power," the track had a catchy melody and a message of empowerment that resonated with many. It was an era when jingles had the ability to lodge themselves in your brain for a lifetime, and "Win Win Win" certainly did just that.


The McEwans advert itself was a visual spectacle. It featured a group of charismatic individuals overcoming various challenges and obstacles with sheer determination and self-belief. The tagline, "You Have Got the Power," served as a powerful mantra, encouraging viewers to take control of their lives and strive for success. It was a message that resonated not only with adults but also with impressionable young minds like mine.


What made this commercial truly impactful for me was the perfect fusion of the music and the message. "Win Win Win" became synonymous with the idea that with determination and self-belief, you could overcome any obstacle, achieve your goals, and emerge victorious. The song's uplifting chorus and the commercial's inspiring visuals left an indelible mark on my childhood.


Even years later, the memory of McEwans commercial and its accompanying song remains etched in my mind. It was a time when advertising had the power to leave a lasting impression, and "You Have Got the Power" was a testament to that era's creativity and messaging. In a world that often feels overwhelming, the simple message of empowerment and the infectious tune of "Win Win Win" continue to inspire me to strive for success and to remember that, indeed, I have got the power.
