SOLUTION
Budweiser wanted to create an innovative, technology-based campaign aimed at young Canadians. Market research indicates these younger consumers value mobility, affordability and they have a strong desire for free, internet-based communications access.
The app allows for voice over IP calls on the go, on the mobile, anytime - for free. Call home Canada!
Canadians can call home for free, while sipping espresso at a café in Paris, backpacking through Europe or skiing on the west coast of British Columbia
SUCCESS
The Bud Phone app delivers a seamless voice over IP experience that aligns with Budweiser’s goal to offer free, mobile-friendly communication for Canadians.
