Another beer brand to release a truly memorable spot this year: Budweiser. The 60-second “Clydesdales Brotherhood” Super Bowl ad “clicked on many levels,” says Charles R. Taylor, a marketing professor at Villanova University. “The use of the Clydesdales remind the viewer of Budweiser’s strong tradition in America (the Clydesdales were introduced to the U.S. public by Anheuser Busch in 1933 to celebrate the end of Prohibition) and are a powerful symbol of the brand’s tradition. The use of a baby foal in the ad is both memorable and attention getting. The emotional appeal of the bond between the horse and trainer who raised him touched many viewers and made this a very memorable ad. Even the choice of music, the sentimental Lanslide by Fleetwood Mac, was right on the mark. This was rated as the top Super Bowl ad and was one of the most viral ads of the year.” The contest to name the baby foal was also “a nice touch that allowed for additional publicity,” he adds. Hope was the winning name based on more than 60,000 Twitter and Facebook posts.
