While Anheuser-Busch InBev has pulled Budweiser from this year’s Super Bowl ad derby, other AB InBev brands will be participating, including Michelob ULTRA with this spot, titled “Happy,” from Wieden+Kennedy New York.
Part of the overall “It’s Only Worth It If You Enjoy It” campaign, the :60 enlists the help of sports superstars including Serena Williams, Anthony Davis, Peyton Manning, Brooks Koepka, Jimmy Butler and Alex Morgan, to showcase the less-heralded-but-equally-important parts of their lives that ultimately play a role in their success: time spent with family and friends, exploring a new hobby and enjoying life. The spot proves to America that you’re not just happy because you win, you win because you’re happy.
This will mark the sixth consecutive appearance for Michelob ULTRA in the Super Bowl ad lineup.
