Timeless principle

Create a character whose mythology can generate endless stories.

The idea

Invent a legendary man whose impossible life makes Dos Equis the drink of cultivated adventure.

Why it works

The straight-faced narration and escalating exploits build a world larger than any single commercial. Crucially, he does not always drink beer, which makes the endorsement feel like taste rather than dependence. The character gives a modest brand instant cultural stature.
