Of all the branded merchandise, this one has to be the most fun. It’s a Budweiser “throne” for dogs and cats and this is the idea behind it: NBA is back, which means that people will be reclaiming the couch in front of the TV – a spot that the family pet otherwise “owns” as his throne. Pets are about to be demoted to a position on the floor.
As NBA sponsor in Brazil, Budweiser has acknowledged that it must take some of the blame for the whole situation. In order to fix this, the King of Beers has manufactured little beds worthy of these “real kings and queens at home”.
Bud made a partnership with the largest Pet Care shop in Brazil to create special dog beds for this special kind of royalty. The beds have been distributed to influencers to promote the campaign, and the bed is already available through the Pet Care Shop e-commerce, in different sizes. Sales profit will be reverted to animal protection NGOs.
Budweiser agency, Africa, has created the campaign film and it is being run in Brazil.
