#CORNTROVERSY
When Bud Light attacked Miller Lite during the lowest scoring Super Bowl in history, people didn’t end up talking about the game. In one of those freakish twists of advertising, they ended up talking about “corn syrup.” And wondering whether it was in their beer. We knew we had to respond fast, so we did—with a full page ad in the New York Times the next day on MSJ’s first day as the new CMO.
The best part? Our ad caused a federal judge to rule that Anheuser-Busch had to pull all their libelous ads. Oh and the news made this great illustration.
