The Jägermeister brand has and will with campaigns like this manage to stay relevant and strengthen the brand identity without neglecting or disregard the brand history and heritage.
This is how the storytelling begins:

Like Jägermeister, they are strong and untamed. And like the men that came before them, they achieved their success with the help of their brothers.”

Budweiser’s Super Bowl Ad in Canada - Taste of Stardom
While we all wait for the big Super Bowl XLVI tonight, I want to share this “Flash Fans” stunt by Budweiser, Canada.
In this cool Super Bowl Game day ad from Budweiser, some hockey players get a taste of stardom and a local game day they’ll never forget.
Even though, this ad is made for the Canadian viewers of the Super Bowl and not going to be broadcasted in US, the idea and effort might end up being one of my favorites during Super Bowl XLVI.
As you will see Budweiser tricked two mid-level amateur hockey teams to think they were filmed for an documentary, however suddenly right before the action is about to start in the half empty and dreary arena, the game is turned into an NFL-style blowout.
The result is an warm-hearted reaction and the spirit of the players is both contagious and truely uplifting:
Motor-Tober, The Made-up Holiday and Celebration by MINI
During October or during the Motor-Tober MINI celebrates the brand’s made-up holiday that lasts the entire month. I myself was a little sceptical about this when I came across different articles and ads regarding this, but actually the campaign has been running five years in a row!
Apparently, Motor-Tober is created to be all about enjoying horsepower and go-kart handling, saving money with great deals and celebrating for the sake of celebrating. MINI’s October marketing campaign focuses on capturing autumn fun with witty ads and MINI gear, encouraging more test drives and events at dealerships across the US and promoting aggressive financing on all available models.
The campaign is among MINI’s most comprehensive all year and efforts are made in every department from communication, media planning and espacially through heavily activation at the dealers.
The Motor-Tober marketing campaign is communicated in national radio, online and television throughout the entire month of October. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any TV ads, but since it’s Halloween today, I definitely want to share these cool print ads from 2009.
