Solution
Budweiser wanted to create an innovative, technology based campaign aimed at young Canadians. Market research indicates these younger consumers value mobility, affordability and they have a strong desire for free, internet based communications access.
The app allows for voice over IP calls on the go, on the mobile, anytime - for free. Call home Canada!
Canadians can call home for free, while sipping espresso at a café in Paris, backpacking through Europe or skiing on the west coast of British Columbia
