King of the match
Budweiser is already inextricably linked to sports experiences in the United States, not to mention being the official beer sponsor of the FIFA World Cup. Choosing Ajax as the first European club to which Bud is affiliated is another partnership power move. The club is known worldwide for talent and creativity, which aligns perfectly with Bud's brand values. Bud leveraged their sponsorship with three brand activations: Pre-Launch for the hospitality industry, King of the Match Trophy, and Bud Skybox.
