After sitting out last year’s Super Bowl for the first time in 37 years to support COVID-19 vaccine awareness, Budweiser is back with a commercial spotlighting a beloved Budweiser Clydesdale’s path to recovery. In a story that symbolises the resiliency that the people of America continue to show through difficult times, the message is clear. The spot, entitled ‘A Clydesdale’s Journey’ follows a Clydesdale horse overcoming challenges, helped by its own determination and the bond it shares with a dog, stableman and vet. Created by VaynerMedia - their first Super Bowl ad with Budweiser - and directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, A Clydesdale’s Journey, is set to a Gary Clark Jr. arrangement of the national anthem, and through Chloé’s “deeply human” lens, the spot depicts a story that hopefully anyone can empathise with. The Budweiser Clydesdales, have been involved in Anheuser-Busch's television ads since the ‘50s, making their Super Bowl debut in 1975. They are now a staple of Anheuser-Busch's heritage and Super Bowl campaigns, including this one - culminating with the message, “Down never means out,” and reminding viewers that anything is surmountable with perseverance.
