As an official sponsor of the NFL, the AB-InBev brand Stella Artois partnered with US ingredient-and-recipe meal kit service Blue Apron premium delivery menu for their Super Bowl LV home-gate in an initiative called ‘Stella Stadium Bites’.
The promotional campaign for the four recipes (paired of course with Stella and a gift set of 4 Stella chalices) was fronted by athlete ambassadors and former New York Giants Eli Manning and Victor Cruz.
The recently retired quarterback and wide receiver pair appeared in the promotional creative for the activation, led by images shot on the filed as MetLife Stadium and a ‘Stella Sessions’ social live cooking show tutorial streamed on Stella’s channels on 18 January and then amplified across their own personal social platforms.
We love seeing connections made on (and off) the field.
