Anheuser-Busch Super Bowl Commercial
The Super Bowl is quickly approaching and as always the commercials get center stage. Budweiser debuted its Super Bowl spot, “Six Degrees of Budweiser.”
The spot, Budweiser’s modern interpretation of the six degrees of separation concept, is narrated by actor and American icon Kevin Bacon and highlights six individual journeys of real people across the country who embody the same American spirit. It shows that no matter how different people are, shared values like grit and resilience unite all Budweiser drinkers.
From hip-hop artist and producer Metro Boomin – who created a custom track for the spot to match the vibe of the creative – to a construction worker to a food truck owner, this spot depicts the journeys of six passionate, self-made Americans, through all the ups and downs, to achieve their dreams. Each individual is connected by their determination, spirit and a six-pack of Budweiser, which is passed from one person to another until only one beer remains. Budweiser then breaks the fourth wall by offering the final beer to the viewer. The spot culminates with the phrase: “The people who share the same spirit share the same beer. This Bud’s For You,” showing that no matter how different each person’s background, career or goals may be, we are all connected by the same shared values and drive.
“Six Degrees of Budweiser” also formally kicks off Budweiser’s ongoing campaign to reintroduce and modernize the brand’s iconic “This Bud’s For You” tagline.
