of beer whereas Budweiser sold around 1.32 billion gallons. Bud Light beer, of alcohol by volume of 4.20 percent, brewed with the best barely, rice, water and hops to be America’s favorite light lager: first choice of barley selected from over 2,000 fields in the United States, adding the crisp, clean taste and fast finish of the rice, filtered through a multi-stage process to assure the purity, quality and consistency of the water, finally Bud Light brew masters hand-select the hops, adding the right number of floral notes and bitterness, making it the world’s favorite light beer. The campaign extended into the winter/spring NBA season, with related Up For Whatever ads and viral content captured and posted. In 2015, Bud Light saw an opportunity to take Up For Whatever to the next level. Bud Light debuted a new tagline to go with their Up For Whatever campaign in the Super Bowl: “THE PERFECT BEER FOR REMOVING ‘NO’ FROM YOUR VOCABULARY FOR THE NIGHT.” One might call it an honest mistake, since at first glance it seems like it does fit in really well with the whole “Up For Whatever” personality the brand is going for. But then remembering the phrase “No Means No” is a thing—and that combining alcohol and the implication that no…. doesn’t mean no? in an ad is a bad idea. According to USA Today, “the ad evoked concerns about alcohol-fueled rape culture.” Bring up rape cases within second of the Super Bowl, social media exploded. Ten of millions of millennials tuned in, across YouTube, Twitter and Instagram. Comments about what are people implying when they say “No.” Comments have come to the point in blaming the Bud Light for unconditional sex. A Twitter user commented “If #BudLight removes consent from your vocabulary, let me suggest that the first NO of the evening be to Bud Light.” Others have comment the connections of Bud Light beer to rapists, asking Bud Light if they knew that alcohol is one of the major tools used to incapacitate victims. Following widespread media coverage of a marketing message scrolled on some bottles that some critics say can be interpreted as contributing to a rape culture began flooding negative comments on social media. The ad brought up rape related content by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities study shows on college campuses, to raise awareness of sexual assault and a national “No Means No.” Bud Light “Up for Whatever” campaign was supposed to rallied people together for a good time, but the campaign did the opposed.
The ad distracts viewers from the main concept. When the audiences saw the slogan, people who was bonded was anger at the brand. The slogan weakens the effectiveness of the advertisement. It was clear Bud Light message missed their mark and brought disrespect and/or irresponsible behavior. Strong social and honest languages was present all over the internet in social media. According to the YouGov BrandIndex, which measures daily brand consumer perception, the average score for domestic beers was 4 in 2015, putting Bud Light below its peers. Among women, Bud Light fell from to a 5 to -3. After the commotion about the beer critics to rape culture, Alexander Lambrecht, vice president of Anheuser-Busch, apologized and has promised to stop producing bottles carrying the slogan, which reads that Bud Light is “prefect beer for removing ‘no’ from your vocabulary for the night.” When the marketing team was designing the Up for Whatever ad, what were they trying to accomplish by doing so? Words are words, and no one can change that. Taking a word out or replacing it with a different meaning is actual hard to do. The main point of the campaign was to have a good time together with some drink and enjoy their day but in the process causing a chaos mostly with millennials. What Bud Light was unthinkable and unethical by having no remove from the “vocabulary.” Instead of having a wonderful time, Alexander Lambrecht, vice president of Anheuser-Busch had to apologize from them misapprehend of words and anyone who was offended of what the slogan interprets to the
audience. When hearing, “THE PERFECT BEER FOR REMOVING ‘NO’ FROM YOUR VOCABULARY FOR THE NIGHT,” what do you think? I recommended that Anheuser-Busch should not have made the campaign as a message of something that was meant to be taking out but something that should be enjoyable and not see the downfall of it.
The company launched an initiative collaborating with the “Lyft”, which will provide free rides for drunk customers [8]. This indicates the amount of dedication the company has towards its customers. It also provides tours to customers across the 12 flagship breweries in the United States [9] and would also help customers with samplers. Any company that values its customers would become a great success and Anheuser Busch has proved this again. It also values its employees making sure every one of them feels like an owner and everybody would work as considering the results to be personal [10]. All these put together has helped the ANHEUSER BUSCH to brew beers that are loved by their customers and in making it the leader of its domain of
The look on the man’s face when he looks up portrays the emotions that the audience is feeling: shock, joy, and relief. Finally the sun comes back out and the man has both his dog and his horse back at home. There are many rhetorical strategies that Budweiser uses in their advertisement. The biggest being pathos. They use pathos in almost every aspect of their commercial. By changing the lighting, music, and overall relatability they are able to change the audience’s emotions. They also use ethos in their commercial by always reminding you of their brand.
“Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes” (MADD). Budweiser, one of the first national beer brands founded in America, is currently the number three beer brand in the United States. In their “Friends are Waiting” commercial, the viewers see the emotional connection between an affectionate owner and his playful dog. This commercial mainly targets young adults because it is more likely for them to go out and drink. By using these rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos; the Budweiser team persuades the readers to always come back home because someone is waiting.
Belgium is known for a culture of high-quality beer and this concept was formulated by an electrical engineer from Fort Collins, Colorado. The electrical engineer, Jeff Lebesch, was traveling through Belgium on his fat-tired mountain bike when he envisioned the same high-quality beer in Colorado. Lebesch acquired the special strain of yeast used in Belgium and took it back to his basement in Colorado and the experimentation process was initiated. His friends were the samplers and when they approved the beer it was marketed. In 1991, Lebesch opened the New Belgium Brewing Company (NBB) with his wife, Kim Jordan, as the marketing director. The first beer and continued bestseller, Fat Tire Amber Ale, was named after the bike ride in Belgium. The operation went from a basement to an old railroad depot and then expanded into a custom-built facility in 1995. The custom-built facility included an automatic brew house, quality-assurance labs and technological innovations. NBB offers permanent, seasonal and one-time only beers with a mission to be a lucrative brewery while making their love and talent visible. In the cases presented by the noted authors (Ferrell & Simpson, 2008), discusses the inception, marketing strategy, brand personality, ethics and social responsibility that New Belgium Brewing Company has demonstrated. The key facts with New Belgium Brewing Company are the marketing strategy, promotion, internal environment and social responsibility with the critical issues of the public, brand slogan, growth and competition.
I have always been a sucker for animals. That’s why I chose this for this week’s assignment. The ad that I chose is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0HI4DAmVDo. It is a Budweiser commercial called “Clydesdales Brotherhood.”
Humans are emotional buyers. They buy something because they feel a certain way, and then later justify the decision with logic. Budweiser's commercial is all about eliciting an emotional response. The psychology behind this marketing strategy is simple: A potential customer will view the "Puppy Love" commercial and have a positive emotional reaction to it, which will inform his or her beer-buying decisions in the future -- either subconsciously or consciously. In your own marketing initiatives, rather than trying to appeal to your target customers' logic, think about how you can appeal to their emotions.
From our research, Anheuser-Busch is content with being the number one beer company in the world, increasing sales each year in operation. We found that Anheuser-Busch met many views associated with the world, business, and behavioral dimensions. The company also displayed its stability as we reviewed one of its most successful products Budweiser, owned by Anheuser-Busch, under the marketing view and the financial view. Not only do they hold almost half of the market share in the industry but their stock prices, sales volume, and net sales have all increased from 2002 to 2003. We also looked at Budweiser in terms of geography and culture. We found due to the fact that the "western" countries consume the majority of beer, it only makes sense that Anheuser-Busch concentrates on that market. Along these lines, another key goal that is also important to Anheuser-Busch is to boost other beer markets that are located in other cultures, where at the time beer is not a major consumption.
Late night driving home, and a strange man is on the side of the road with an axe, but hey, he has Bud Light so why not offer him a ride? In this video ad of Bud Light a couple is lost at night in what seems the middle of nowhere. Seeing a man with an Axe carrying Bud Light Case, the male seeing that he has Bud Light wants to offer him a ride; they pull over and he gets in the car. A glass and bottle of Bud Light appears and the words “Always Worth It” displayed (Viral 0:24). Later, they run in to a mask man with a chain saw and is also carrying Bud Light, and so the male again was to offer him a ride and leads to the commercial ending (Viralstuff 0:28). In this ad, it attracts a white male, and female audience that has low income, and between the ages of 21 and 30, which makes sense because Bud light sell more to Hispanic males that have low income rate, and are between the age of 55-65 (Bud Light Consumer). The commercial will try to persuade you using ethos, logos and pathos. The ad shows that avid Bud Light drinkers will in
Michael Messner and Jeffrey Montez de Oca explain that contemporary beer ads represent a desirable male lifestyle to reaffirm masculinity in a time when men are insecure. Their essay, “The Male Consumer as a Loser: Beer and Liquor Ads in Mega Sports Media Events,” goes on to list the reasons for their insecurities: historic and cultural shifts such as deindustrialization, declining real value of wages, feminists and sexual minorities. They support their main point by providing a window to the past as beer ads of the 1950s depicted a desirable lifestyle that was appropriate for post war style of living. By following the transitions of beer ads from the 1950s to now, we could follow the accepted lifestyles of the times during which the ad was made.
For example, the idea of the commercial itself is a sort of appeal to false authority. The whole ad is based on how if you drink Dr. Pepper 10, you’ll be manly like Grizzly Adams. Another noticeable fault was used in the closing of the commercial where Grizzly says, “Mmm, bold flavor.” Bold flavor is an ambiguous statement and very subjective. What is clear is that the Dr. Pepper 10 advertisers are trying word play to suck buyers in. Several commercials have used the phrase, “Bold flavor,” in advertisements before. This just further weakens Dr. Pepper’s
An effective advertisement is able to persuade its viewers by providing informative facts about a brand that help create a sense of liking, which will enhance certain attitudes and feelings about the brand from the target audience. If an advertisement is effective it will be able to persuade its target audience. The persuasive appeals used in the Bud Light Party advertisement are source likeability, humor appeal, and appeal to broad cultural values, specifically patriotism. This paper will analyze how these three persuasive appeals can make an advertisement successful by grabbing the attention of its target audience, the millennial generation, making them more likely to have purchase intentions due a connection made between the advertisement
Advertisements are a way to get people to see their product or hear what they have to say about it or just what they have to say in general. This commercial was made by Budweiser. Budweiser is a company that makes and sells beer to adults. Their commercial shows that just because they sell alcohol does not mean they are okay with drunk driving. The commercial uses both pathos and ethos to show us what they want us to take away from it. They use this commercial that plays with our emotions to show us a piece of how we would feel if we lost someone, and its goal is to make us want to make sure no one that cares for us will ever feel that way. It was shown at a time that makes it most effective, during the super bowl while people are drinking
During John F. Kennedy’s political campaign, there were many issues present that the candidate had to address: there was tension due to the communist threat, tension among American citizens due to the Civil Rights movement, and a recent recession that was very sluggish in recovering. Relating to these issues President Kennedy’s slogan was “getting America moving again”; these topics are addressed in a fast and effective manner in his minute-long television ad that was endorsed by the group: Citizens for Kennedy-Johnson. This ad was the best way to reinforce President Kennedy’s stance on the emergence of a new frontier. He was able to depict himself as a man of change and new beginnings due to his fresh perspective and young age which was a
Over time the use of alcoholic drinks has become an increasing problem. Budweiser is a company that makes and sells alcoholic drinks. Although they are well aware that the alcoholic drinks can be harmful when they are over used. To advertise their drinks they made an ad that not only advertised the drink but at the same time shows people that drinking and driving is dangerous and not only hurts the people doing it but also others around them.
