  • Anheuser-Busch Inbev

Anheuser-Busch Inbev, one of the world’s largest brewer, is increasing spending on marketing initiatives ahead of the FIFA World Cup this summer, as such promotions have already helped boost demand in Colombia and Peru, according to Bloomberg. Budweiser’s campaign for the World Cup, the most-watched sporting event globally, began this week. The initiative comes as Anheuser-Busch InBev works to drive more revenue from athletic tournaments and social occasions. In Colombia, the Aguila brand increased sales more than 50 percent in the first quarter, helped by ads that fueled nostalgia for the last time the country played in the World Cup.Cristal performed well in Peru, as the brand is supporting the national team. Anheuser-Busch InBev said it plans World Cup promotions for Budweiser in Argentina and in Nigeria, where it started selling the brand in March. One of the first ads in the new campaign involves hundreds of drones flying beer bottles from St Louis, Missouri, Budweiser’s home, down the shores of Rio de Janeiro, through the jungles of Latin America and over snowy mountain ridges. They drop off the beverages in Shanghai’s city center, in British pubs and finally at a Moscow soccer stadium.
