2023 BRONZE
The Meta Lite Bar
The Super Bowl is beer’s biggest day. But AB-InBev, the most powerful brewer on Earth, blocked Miller Lite from advertising in the game. And spent $49.6 million to blast out ads about their beers. We said "cool, hold our beer" and built a dive bar in the middle of the Metaverse instead. The Meta Lite Bar earned 1.4 billion impressions and grew the brand ½ share—with a budget that’s 3% of what AB-InBev spent on a single ad.

To allow online shoppers to experience our fragrances in real life, Glade leveraged an overlooked part of the online shopping experience: packing pillows. For the first time ever, we turned air into an advertisement, experience, and point of purchase all in one.
