SUMMARY
To push to be the country’s number one beer, Michelob ULTRA needed to stand out in an increasingly noisy category.
Using never-before-seen technology, Michelob ULTRA enabled John McEnroe to play a real match against his past self, experiencing the joy he missed as a player.
McEnroe vs. McEnroe challenged the win-at-all-costs mentality plaguing modern sports, providing a timely reminder of the brand’s motto: It’s only worth it if you enjoy it.
The campaign lifted brand relevance/buzz +25%, earned over 3 billion impressions, and helped lift sales year-on-year by +15%.
