So a global shutdown of these events required a complete rewriting of the marketing plans of brands like Budweiser and Bud Light. I sat down with Marcel Marcondes, CMO of Anheuser-Busch, to discuss the pivots the brands made, why they changed their approach to the Super Bowl in 2021, and how a mindset around consumer-centricity continues to be so important to the business.
