After getting underway with "Epic Night Part 1" earlier in the first quarter, Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light and BBDO continue the adventures of a guy who's up for whatever, outdoor ad-sales charmer Ian Rappaport.
The larger strategy for the "Up for Whatever" campaign, new to viewers in early 2014, was to connect the brand with good times, while putting a heavy emphasis on experiential and digital marketing.
