Wow. Didn’t think the big game would even be complete without one!
For the first time in 37 (!!) years, Budweiser is deciding so sit out SB LV. Instead, they’re taking that money and putting it some place they think is a better investment.

Anheuser-Busch InBev beer will use the marketing dollars to support Covid-19 vaccine awareness and access.
As of Friday, roughly 39 million vaccines doses had been distributed and only 19.1 million administered, falling well short of the targets set by the federal government.
In the week leading up to Super Bowl LV, Budweiser plans to run its Super Bowl ad digitally.

Actress Rashida Jones, known for her roles in “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation,” will narrate the spot.
