Miller vai fazer emboscada no Superbowl

super_bowl_2009_logo1.jpgA Anheuser Bush tem exclusividade de ser a única empresa de cervejas com chances de anunciar no Superbowl, a partir deste ano. É um acordo firmado entre ela e a NBC, emissora que detém os direitos de transmissão do evento esportivo.

A A. Bush está bem disposta a pagar US$3 milhões para cada 30″ de intervalo (haja visto o post abaixo). Em resposta, a sua rival Miller (mais especificamente o seu produto Miller High Life) está lançando uma campanha que satiriza anunciantes que gastam toda essa grana para anunciar seus produtos.

A campanha “1 Second Ad” utiliza a plataforma de web TV para transmitir pelo seu hotsite (aqui) comerciais de 1 segundo. Isso mesmo, apenas 1 segundo. Alguns desses comerciais também serão veiculados com antecedência, na NBC.

O marketing da empresa (Miller) alega que não é preciso gastar US$3 milhões para incentivar o povo americano a tomar a sua bebida predileta durante a final do futebol americano, que acontece no dia 1º de fevereiro. E afirmam, ainda, que o produto (Miller High Life) tem tanta qualidade, que 1 segundo já é o bastante para promovê-lo.

Não duvido da tamanha repercussão e o buzz que isso vai gerar. Apesar de ser apenas 1 segundo, a estratégia é primar pela frequência. As vezes, 1 segundo várias vezes, é mais atrativo que 30 segundos poucas vezes. só pelo fato de ser uma ação “out of box“, original e diferente, ficará pregado na mente de muita gente.

A ação vai de encontro com o posicionamento do produto, que é mais acessível (20% mais barato que as marcas demais). Um produto de qualidade a um preço honesto.
