1982-1983
Launched with the original “Budweiser Light,” this slogan and campaign introduced Bud Light to the world. The slogan positioned the beer as the perfect drink for social gatherings and highlighted its lighter calorie content. It targeted a younger, active demographic and laid the foundation for what would become America’s best-selling light beer.
1987-1989
This campaign featured Bud Light’s iconic bull terrier mascot, Spuds Mackenzie. Though not a traditional slogan, “Original Party Animal” helped boost Bud Light’s image with young people. The dog later became a spokesdog for responsible drinking.
1998-2008
Created by DDB Chicago, this campaign spoofed earnest tribute songs by praising everyday eccentrics in over 200 radio and TV spots. Each song featured a male voiceover paired with an over-the-top vocalist. This award-winning campaign became one of Bud Light’s longest-running and most beloved initiatives.
2000s-present
This adaptable tagline allowed Bud Light to form partnerships with different sports leagues. The flexible format has supported countless promotional opportunities, from NFL sponsorships to local events. In 2025, this framework supported the “BMOC” Super Bowl ad featuring Post Malone and Peyton Manning.
2002
Launched during Bud Light’s peak market dominance, this slogan shifted the brand toward identity-based marketing. It celebrated individuality and authenticity, coinciding with the rise of reality TV’s emphasis on relatable personalities.
2004-2005
This simple slogan highlighted beer’s qualities during intense competition with Miller Lite and Coors Light. The campaign emphasized Bud Light’s crisp taste and authentic experience. It was part of a broader marketing campaign with similar taglines like “Great taste for your great times.”
2008-2010
This was a controversial $50 million campaign that evolved from “Superior Drinkability” in 2007. Critics mocked its vague messaging and “Goldilocks” logic (“not too heavy, not too light”).
2011
This slogan was launched to reinvent Bud Light’s image. Its call-to-action phrase functioned as a rallying cry during sports events and festivals. It was often paired with high-energy ads during NFL and NCAA broadcasts.
2013-2015
Introduced with a redesigned logo, this campaign encouraged spontaneity and adventure. The slogan faced controversy in 2015 when a bottle label described Bud Light as “the perfect beer for removing ‘no’ from your vocabulary for the night,” prompting criticism for trivializing consent.
2016
This politically themed campaign, which debuted during Super Bowl 50, featured comedians Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen during the 2016 presidential election. The slogan positioned Bud Light as a unifying force regardless of political affiliation.
2017
This Wieden+Kennedy campaign, which debuted during the NFL conference championship games, focused on friendship and social connections. The slogan was supported by a 60-second ad highlighting everyday friendships, diverging from Bud Light’s usual humor-driven approach to humanize the brand.
2017-2019
This medieval-themed campaign went viral after its August 2017 launch. Created by Wieden+Kennedy, it featured a fictional “Bud Light King” and courtiers toasting with the catchphrase “Dilly Dilly!” The slogan traces back to the 17th-century nursery rhyme “Lavender’s Blue” and won a Silver Lion at Cannes in 2018.
