COMPETITIVE OVERVIEW
Sam Adams - National Ad Spend
● Sam Adams national activity
is almost exclusively
broadcast TV and Radio
○ Any channel that had less than
1% spend was not included
● As a result, awareness of the
brand at large has been
well-established in the market
Kantar - Stradegy
● 3 Spring Beers in the last 5 Years
○ National Launch Mix is not working!
● Still relying heavily on broadcast
channels for media spend
Sam Adams - Spring Seasonal Spend
Kantar - Stradegy
Yuengling - Boston Launch Spend
Kantar - Stradegy
● In late 2013 / early 2014,
Yuengling launched it’s
second coming in Boston
○ Sales boomed upon Boston
launch, still remain strong today
● Found the right formula for a
local product launch
○ Second largest channel - OOH
Problem:
The Winter Beer Landscape is
oversaturated.
SPRING IS
COMING
Strategic
Opportunity
Establish Escape Route as the dominant winter transitional beer and the accessible craft beer for the
casual drinker, without alienating the craft beer connoisseur.
Strategic Pillars
Target Persona
Secondary Target:
Adults
21-49
Primary Target:
Men
21-34
MRI - 2014 Doublebase Study; Nielson Report: Exploring Consumer’s Mindset; IBIS World Breweries in the US - June 2014; Mintel
● Millennials are experimental, attentive
consumers
● Craft beer has a broad appeal, but the main
source of sales growth are from males, 21-35
● While disposable income may be low, the
younger audience is still fostering brand loyalty

for targeted efforts
○ TD Garden digital wraps,
extending some of our radio

● AdCity - Taxi Cab ads, capture
our audience en route
○ Top of mind messaging upon
arrival to their destination
Experiential OOH
● Bring Spring to the city with
heated bus stops sponsored by
Sam Adams
○ Bus stops also wrapped in
Escape Route skin
● Subway Takeovers in high traffic
areas also reach commuting
crowd with continuous messaging
RADIO
Local Radio
● Align with local sports hub
networks during Bruin’s game
● Daypart mix across other local
networks would heavy up in the
A.M. and P.M. commuting hours
○ Weather/Traffic Sponsorships
Streaming Online Radio
● In partnership with Spotify, we
would geo and demo target for our
online listeners
● Daypart mix would be more
geared to the “at work” crowd,
ensuring sufficient coverage for
our message to be heard

Winter Beer Landscape
Stradegy
February is typically one of the
more miserable months on the
beer calendar when production
falls about 3 million barrels off
of its midsummer peak to its
lowest point until the
November-December holiday
season.
-Beer Institute and the Alcohol
and tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau.
Bud Light Golden Wheat - National Launch
Kantar - Stradegy
● Bud Light launched “Golden
Wheat” in Q3/Q4 of 2009
○ Within two years, An-Bev pulled
the product line as sales suffered
● Like Sam Seasonals, Golden
Wheat relied primarily on TV
● Unlike Sam Adams, however,
Golden Wheat also invested
significantly in print
