Budweiser is raising the bar (quite literally) with BudMag, a unique monthly music magazine nestled within its 12-pack packaging in Colombia. This innovative campaign proves that print is anything but dead, and it’s sure to resonate with music lovers and beer drinkers alike.
Budweiser has a long history of championing fresh ideas and supporting up-and-coming talent. Following suit, BudMag isn’t just about enjoying a cold one; it’s about discovering the next big thing in Colombian music.
Developed alongside creative agency Wieden+Kennedy Sao Paulo and Rolling Stone en Español, the first issue of BudMag features four rising stars – Nath, Kapo, Benú, and Sai. With Spotify codes embedded within the magazine, fans can seamlessly connect with these artists and explore their music.
The launch of BudMag signifies more than just a clever marketing ploy.
