Bud Light and Naked People

What does a company do after watching its sales fall for a year?

Anheuser-Busch shows naked people.

The new Bud Light Clothing Drive commercial is hilarious. Check out the ad:

It doesn’t fit in the new campaign reported by The New York Times, though. According to them, Anheuser-Busch intends to run nine commercials that will take up five minutes of air time on the Super Bowl, abandoning the “drinkability” promotion they ran last year. Of the nine spots, five are scheduled to be devoted to unveiling a new theme for Bud Light, “Here we go.”

I like the naked people spot, whether it fits in the new campaign or not. It’s funny, it’s not very tasteful, and it’s clever.

Makes me wonder whether we ought to have a clothing drive here at The 60 Second Marketer.

On second thought, scratch that.

    No kidding! Darn funny, that ad.

The 60 Second Marketer is a free online magazine brought to you by BKV Interactive and Direct Response. We try to provide quick updates on the newest tools, tips and techniques in marketing. We also try to accomplish that with a dose of humor or levity. As it turns out, we're pretty good at providing tools, tips and techniques, but we're not actually all that funny. Which would explain why people don't call us "funny" as much as they call us "laughable." Bummer. Our offices, for those of you who are interested, are located in Atlanta (404-233-0332) and Kansas City (913-648-8333). We also have offices on Bora Bora, but they don't have the phones installed yet.
