Hey Reader,
Last week we asked which of the top-rated 2026 Super Bowl ads was your favorite.
50% of you voted for Budweiser's 'American Icons' commercial.
Naturally, we had to do some research on the ad.
We learned that the bald eagle in the spot was not CGI. It was not AI-generated. It was indeed real! So real, in fact, that he has a name. Lincoln is a 28-year-old rescue, cared for by the American Eagle Foundation. Read his story here.
Todd Allen, SVP of Marketing for Budweiser at Anheuser-Busch, said: “As we celebrate Budweiser’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th birthday, we knew we had to rise to the occasion in a way only Budweiser can."
If that doesn't make you feel patriotic, I don't know what will.
