Production company Fela has produced a new ad for Budweiser, helmed by award-winning director LeSean Harris. The nostalgic campaign champions fatherhood, culture, and sport through the father-son connection the Griffeys share. Recounting their memories over a couple of cold Budweiser's, the viewer is taken on a tour through archival footage and Junior’s voiceover, recreating the evolution of their unbreakable bond.
If the true measure of success is being willing to return to the plate again and again in a baseball career, the same can be said of parenthood. Beyond reaching MLB fans, the goal of the intentional and evocative spot is to resonate with everyone who has benefited from a loved one repeatedly showing up for them.
