Budweiser
CW: Julia Pignatella
AD: Ruby Tyson & Lauren Damaskinos
Budweiser has lived through 150 years of great stories, so it knows what it’s like to leave a lasting legacy.
The iconic brand reminds us that the spirit of past generations can still be found among us today in the moments we are most present in.

Lenticular Billboards
From one side, you see the original Budweiser can — but as you move, the billboard shifts to reveal the modern can in full color.
Proof that over their 150-year existence, Bud’s remained pretty consistent.
SOCIAL
VINTAGE MOMENTS
We want to keep Budweiser part of the moment.
To bring things full circle, we’ll partner with influencers to kick off a trend of recreating vintage family photos. As it takes off, Budweiser will reshare standout posts using #gotitfrommybud.
And for those who get featured, a case of Bud shows up at their door.
Good Timers Series
Bud is collaborating with iconic Good Timers: older adults who’ve been around the block and have stories to tell.
Younger people will interview them in an Actors on Actors style video series showcasing intergenerational connections.
Digital
Ads that blend in so well will have Pinterest surfers clicking on them for inspo - driving traffic, sparking curiosity, and reframing Bud as the novelty beer choice.
As a continued proud sponsor of the FIFA World Cup, we’ll place Bud digital ads on associated ticketing partner sites.
The ads will use imagery from the last North American World Cup in ‘94 reminding fans of Bud’s constant presence in the big moments.

THE THEN AND NOW VINYL
Bud has always had a long standing relationship with the music industry.
We’re using that relationship to remind people that good things stay present.
With that in mind we’ve created a vinyl record with some of history’s most iconic songs on the A side, and their covers today on the B side.
THE Long Time Koozie
Bud knows that the best times are the ones you’re part of - so let’s make those moments last even longer.
In partnership with Stanley, we’ve created the Long Time Koozie.
Built with extra insulation to keep your beer colder, longer — so you never miss a moment (or a story) waiting in the bar line.
Budweiser has been ever present over the years. Likewise, iconic fashion staples of the past are still celebrated today.
