Shiner Beer is going to the Super Bowl (of advertising) with a 30-second spot scheduled to air during the Feb. 4 matchup.
“This is a huge step for Shiner,” Gregor Mina, director of marketing for Spoetzl Brewery, provided in a release. “For us, this is a big financial investment; we want to expand our message to reach as many Texans as we can and what better way to do that than by leveraging a Super Bowl spot with all of the incredible attention that it receives.”
The ad campaign, “This is Shiner Country,” revels in the company’s history and its intrinsic link to the Lone Star State.
