About the Work

World Series. Game 5. Top of the second. Yordan Alvarez knocks one out of the park... right into the chest of a hero. A magical moment indeed, and Bud Light was front and center. The most important rule in baseball fandom: Always, always save the beer... we owe you one, whoever you are. So, who was this guy? We had to know. Bud Light immediately went to Twitter, asking the internet to find the man. And they did. Over the next 72 hours, we used every touchpoint to immortalize Jeff Adams. We even sent him all expenses paid to Game 6. Yup. He wore the shirt. As the Nationals extended the Series, we extended the story, with newly secured broadcast space during Game 7, but this time, cementing Jeff’s legacy as the Nationals World Series good luck charm. We also sold THE t-shirt so Nationals’ fans could always remember who helped bring home the hardware. Within days, Jeff became a recognized hero, and our campaign became a cultural sensation that dominated social conversation and news coverage. Proving our theory, not all heroes wear capes... or gloves.
