NBC’s $800M Ad Haul for 2014 Winter Games Might not Include A-B InBev
Posted in: Uncategorized
NBC Universal is projecting an $800 million-plus advertising haul for the 2014 Winter Olympics, said Seth Winter, exec VP-sales and marketing for NBC Sports Group. But that record projection for winter games coverage might have to count out traditional sponsor Anheuser-Busch InBev, which has indicated it can better connect with consumers through non-traditional means.
The advertising windfall for the games, to be held in Sochi, Russia, would eclipse the record $700 million-plus that NBC collected for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. (The record for the summer Olympics was set by the London 2012 Olympic Games, which drew over $1 billion in ad sales, according to Mr. Winter.)
