Tech and Joy: Harnessing Technology to Celebrate Human Endeavor in Sports

Presented by Michelob ULTRA

Just as technology supercharges creativity by enabling new forms of expression, it can elevate sports by transcending the boundaries of human endeavor. Michelob ULTRA has been pioneering this concept, consistently pursuing the joy in sports while spotlighting talents and teams. Through engaging tech-infused experiences like ‘Lap of Legends’ – the first ever real vs. virtual race presented in a one-hour TV special – and many other award-winning works, the brand demonstrates that sports are all about the emotion they evoke.

In this session, Michelob ULTRA and its partners at FCB NY, will discuss the role of technology in its campaigns and how it can be used to boost, not overshadow, the human elements of a brand’s story.
