SUMMARY
Miller High Life endeavored to steal Budweiser's thunder during the Super Bowl despite Budweiser having event exclusivity and a budget 55x that of High Life's during the game. High Life sought to make an economic statement by bringing common sense back to the Super Bowl. The "1 Second Ad" creative idea was rooted in media innovation and successfully leveled the playing field by sparking media wildfire. High Life volume growth during the Super Bowl far exceeded competitors, and the campaign generated significantly more buzz following the game than Budweiser.
