Miller Lite Ask An Expert

Finalist in Social Media for Sports

Entered in Twitter Hashtag

Objectives

Fantasy Football players are always looking for a competitive advantage. So we allowed them to tweet at our fantasy football expert using branded hashtags right from our banner on their Yahoo! Fantasy Football matchup page. This kept guys more engaged with their fantasy team and more engaged with our brand. It also solidified Miller Lite as The Official Beer of Fantasy Football.While most brands talk to consumers, Miller Lite is talks with them and nothing says It’s Miller Time like talking it up with friends. This innovative, and highly contextual, use of Twitter netted an interaction rate 600% higher than the industry average as well as thousands of consequent tweets and conversations resulting in exponential impressions. Miller Lite has seen its Twitter following grow nearly 400% since the ad hit the web. Ultimately, Miller Lite created an ad that consumers not only interacted with; they actually searched it out each week, exceptional in the ad world.
