I didn’t care for this ad when I saw it during the Super Bowl, but now I see an unhidden message in it. Bud Light Platinum is a 6.0% alcohol by volume. Why the brand and its agency didn’t make the entire spot about that significant point of difference, it’s hard to say.
“Man has long dreamed of turning lead into gold. We dreamed of turning gold into platinum.”
What? Who cares what “you” dreamed of Budweiser? Tell me instead why this new version of Bud Light is something I might want to drink. Tell me it drinks like a micro.
According to Los Angeles Times, the brew’s 6% alcohol content reflects Americans’ growing thirst for drinks with more kick and perceived sophistication.
