Whassup America

#America.

Budweiser, in yet another savvy marketing move, will boldly promote patriotism on its label for beer drinking from sea to shining sea.

People drink beer when they’re happy and people drink beer when they’re sad. It’s a fairly simple product with a genius and timeless business plan. Few companies take advantage of and elevate within the alcoholic industry as well as Budweiser, as evidenced above and in their unforgettable commercials. And this year, Americans will be able to joyfully drink America when cheering on Team USA at the summer Olympics in Brazil. Conversely, Americans will be able to drink America (and their sadness away) during the presidential election.

Once again, Budweiser is not only aiming to be the most favored beer brand in the country, but it’s striving to be synonymous with the United States of America and its ideals. The people, brands, industries, products, places, events, etc. that embody this nation’s unique character have a proven track record of success. In an election cycle with so much cynicism and dissatisfaction from all sides of the spectrum pining for vision and leadership, at least Americans (21 and older) can toast and drink to something indisputably incredible:

America.

Happy Monday!

Less is more.

Ironically, this sentiment was the perfect fit for a particular consumption-reliant beer company.

Budwesier’s Best Super Bowl Ad:

Did Peyton Manning just inadvertently give the world the first-ever Vine Super Bowl commercial?

The sheer simplicity (and obvious realism) of Manning’s reportedly unsolicited endorsement will stump veteran advertisers who invested millions and millions of dollars into writing, developing, producing and airing creative commercials, aimed at achieving a viral marketing impact.

As Peyton Manning casually revealed, champions (like everybody else) enjoy a good beer after a hard day at the office.

Also, did Manning change post-championship interviews forever? Drinking beer over Disney World?

Mickey Mouse: It’s your turn for a super rebuttal.
