Strategy and Execution

Michelob ULTRA’s strategy is to enable people to reimagine the wellness world. Since 2017, we’ve brought that to life through a roster of influencers who authentically live a fit and fun lifestyle. We look for those who pursue health and happiness in equal measure and enjoy drinking beer as part of an active lifestyle. While a strong presence on Instagram is a must, our partners are influential off the feed as gatekeepers in their wellness community. This year, our program was bigger, better and broader than ever before. Our ambassadors are more than just content creators but consultants for the brand from new products to enhancing consumer events.

To build a mutually beneficial relationship, influencers are contracted to a one-year agreement that specifies monthly content deliverables, events and production days. Influencers receive monthly beer deliveries, access to photographers, personalized fitness gear and in-real-life experiences to engage a local audience. We work together to craft unique active and social extensions to engage followers in new and exciting ways.

Our year-long ambassadors:

  1. Shawn Booth, Bachelorette winner, owns BoothCamp, Nashville gym
  2. Dale Moss, New York City based model and host
  3. Kenny Santucci, owns New York City based cross-fit studio, Solace
  4. Matt Triplett, Professional Bull Rider
