As the official beer sponsor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, Budweiser has designed a creative platform under the “Rise As One” theme, which will serve to celebrate the moments that unite and inspire fans of the sport and its upcoming marquee tournament.
“While football brings out regional pride and fierce rivalries, it also brings fans across the globe together once every four years through shared passion,” said Andrew Sneyd, Budweiser global VP. “With the Rise As One campaign, Budweiser celebrates the world’s favorite game and its role in inspiring fans to celebrate the moments that unite us as a global community.”
Platform for the campaign spans new television and out-of-home advertising, as well as customized local market activations and initiatives to engage fans in-store, online and across social channels. Additionally, Budweiser will develop and distribute global broadcast and digital FIFA World Cup related content through strategic media partnerships, the details of which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Budweiser’s "Rise As One" campaign will be unveiled to a national audience with the first of multiple new TV spots breaking online on March 5, 2014 and supported by impactful out-of-home content, which will showcase the passion of fans across the world as they come together to celebrate the tournament.
In addition, Budweiser is proud to unveil its unique packaging for the tournament, featuring the iconic FIFA World Cup Trophy which, since 1974, has represented the pinnacle of football achievement and the unity of a team and an entire nation. The limited edition aluminum trophy bottle will be introduced simultaneously in more than 40 countries, and will serve as the centerpiece of the brand’s packaging, which also includes limited edition glass bottles, cans and secondary packaging, which will also be available globally.
