ANHEUSER-BUSCH BUD SPOT RATED BEST SUPER BOWL AD

For the 10th consecutive year Anheuser-Busch aired the top-rated Super Bowl ad according to USA Today.

From USA Today:

The Patriots' streak was broken, but Anheuser-Busch's was not.

In the high-stakes world of Super Bowl advertising, it aired the best-liked Super Bowl ad for a record 10th-consecutive year, according to results of USA TODAY'S exclusive Super Bowl Ad Meter real-time consumer focus group testing.

Unlike many of its previous winners, A-B's big winner this time didn't tickle the funny bone, but it certainly plucked the heart strings.

The ad featured a Dalmatian who becomes personal trainer to a dejected draft horse eager to make the team pulling the famous Budweiser beer wagon.

Loved the commercial. I actually did some research and found a few things pertaining to Anheuser-Busch's Super Bowl commercial(s). It looks like one 30 second spot costs 2.7 million dollars. Anheuser Busch has been creating Super Bowl spots since 1975. I've also found that Anheuser-Busch is the Super Bowl's exclusive beer advertiser through 2012.
"In 2007, TNS reported, Anheuser-Busch spent almost $23.9 million for its Super Bowl spots and PepsiCo spent $11.9 million. The comparisons for 2006 were $22.5 million and $10 million, respectively."
