Beer and PPC. Two of my favorite things in this world. With some brief thinking, it was easy to compare the two worlds. Both the brewing and PPC campaign creation process are delicate procedures. Both processes follow a plan of execution, and one small mistake in either of the plans could mean horrible results. This light-hearted blog will take a look at how a good beer and PPC campaigns more related than we think.
Do You Have the Proper Ingredients?
There are four main ingredients to beer that are the base to any brew you’ve tasted: water, grains (or malt), yeast and hops. A brewer might know the steps to craft a delicious beer, but if any of these four ingredients are of poor quality, the end result will suffer as well. When setting up your campaigns, make sure the four ingredients for a successful PPC campaign are carefully thought out and implemented.

In a world where large, corporate breweries rule the market, craft beer is created to please an audience that applauds the styles, techniques and flavors. Though craft beer can be purchased through several different outlets, the best place to thoroughly enjoy the entire experience of the specially made beer is in the brewery where it was made. The article titled, “In Lean Times, a Stout Dream” in The Wall Street Journal1 states that, despite the hard economic times and consequent consumer cutbacks, sales of craft beer, the industry 's fastest-growing segment, rose
Boston Beer Company (BBC) has enjoyed much success with their craft beers with Samuel Adams as their main focus. Being the leader of this segment, overtopping five of their competitors combined (Exhibit 1), the company now must decide how to take advantage of the light beer market.

Busch Beer, an established brand sold by Anheuser-Busch since 1955 (3), needs to reshape its brand reputation. In order to do so, Busch’s creative advertising team needs to focus on publicizing the rebrand amidst the high density market for alcohol. They should, of course, do this with Busch’s target audience in mind, and find a strategy to combat the stereotypes for drinking the product, and negative reviews on the product itself exist. Analyzing the aforementioned will undoubtedly lead the Busch team to a strong strategy.

When it comes to selling beer locally Budweiser is the one that reigns over any local beer. One of the reasons to this success would have to be their distinctive commercials. A few of these recognizable commercials wouldn’t have just been seen by beer drinkers, but a larger audience, hence why I am writing about it. The first one that would come to mind would have to be the “Lost Dog”, which came out in 2015. Another would be the “Wassup?” commercial which aired in 1999. While both of the end goals of the commercials is to try and market to a larger audience and eventually sell beer, the means of which they sell you one the beer through the beer is quite different.
On April 17th, 2009, the much-awaited documentary, Beer Wars Documentary, was shown in many cinemas across the United States. It’s a documentary that discusses the grassroots efforts of the craft beer industry having been filmed similar to a Michael Moore style documentary.

Budweiser - The Self Proclaimed, “King of Beers” has been produced by Anheuser-Busch Company Inc., since its introduction in 1876. Anheuser Busch is the largest brewer in the world and produces more than 100 million barrels of beer per year. Budweiser is synonymous with American culture and is known for its significant efforts in promotion.

Budweiser has attempted appealing to various audiences with their advertisements. From ratty, to refined, to sporty, to hipster Budweiser has adapted many of its advertisements to its target market of males between 21 and 34 years old, which is the largest population of beer drinkers.
