No longer less filling. Its Tasting Great!
A slight change from the early days in the ’70s proclaiming taste, ⇐click here for video) MillerCoors is displaying an Out of Home campaign in St Louis, home to Anheuser Busch, targeting A-B’s largest selling light beer, Bud Light. The OOH mission is to take market share from Bud. The campaign theme returns to the age-old argument of who’s ‘tastes better.’ The OOH consists of billboards and bus wraps.
MillerCoors conducted a series of taste tests in St Louis.(See reference below to read the test) The results? In St Louis, beer drinkers selected Miller’s Lite Beer over Bud an overwhelming 76 percent of the time. The national average of Miller Lite over Bud Light is 72 percent of the time.
The St Louis campaign represents the beginning of OOH to be appearing soon across the country to promote the results of the blind taste tests. Bud Light is the nation’s most popular light beer, at 17.5 percent of all beer sold in America, according to Nielsen data. Miller Light brand is second.
