At the end of March, the results of the 21st “Louskáček” competition of advertising creativity for 2012 were presented in Prague. The panel evaluated many communication activities of Budweiser Budvar Brewery in the past year, which had been brought into effect by Kaspen/Jung von Matt advertising agency. The main prize - the grand prix – was awarded to the Budweiser Budvar brand advertising campaign called “NO”. The key and publicly probably best known part of the campaign was a TV commercial with Jan Tříska. Nonetheless, the campaign “NO” was much vaster, consisting of an image part and a product part. The media used in the campaign were TV, cinemas, press and POS items. Furthermore, special-deal multipacks of Budweiser Budvar Premium Lager completed the campaign at the selling points.  

“The award deservedly evaluates the big team that worked on the campaign, whether on the side of Kaspen/Jung von Matt agency or Budweiser Budvar. The Grand prix is a proof that the path we took in 2010 is the right one. However, more important than the commercial awards for us are 2012 economic results, which reflect the communication,” says Budweiser Budvar brand manager from Budweiser Budvar Brewery Aleš Eder. Budweiser Budvar managed to increase its beer sales by 2% and the sales of Budweiser Budvar Premium Lager by 5%.

The panel also evaluated Budweiser Budvar’s other advertising and communication activities brought into effect by Kaspen/Jung von Matt agency in 2012:
Campaign - gold - Budweiser Budvar - campaign “NO“
TV/cinema - gold – commercial “NO” with Jan Tříska
Online campaign - gold - Gallery “NO”
Online campaign - silver – Pardál school of fine-tuning
Other interactive tools - silver – Non-alcoholic search tool
Media - bronze - Non-alcoholic search tool

Details and notes on the “NO” campaign
The preparation of the “NO” campaign started in 2011, but the campaign basically only followed on the key decisions made in 2010, when the positioning and the Budweiser Budvar brand target group were redefined. The “NO” campaign presented the Budweiser Budvar brand as a premium, distinctive and inspiring brand, which has been saying its “NO” for over a hundred years, during which it has managed to keep its own integrity, not falling prey to fashionable trends. The preparation of the “NO” campaign was preceded by an opinion poll of a wider target group. The poll indicated that although a way of smallest resistance and efforts to avoid problems (therefore prefer saying YES) is typical for present Czech society, deeply inside many people do not identify themselves with such made compromises. According to the research, the issue of dissent turned out to be the topic the Budweiser Budvar brand target group perceive very intensively. The Budweiser Budvar brand definitely needs not to be ashamed for its historical NOs, four out of which were reiterated: NO to substituting ingredients, NO to decreasing the maturing period, NO to selling its own name and NO to licence production away from České Budějovice. Each of these four NOs was represented by one knight – an allegorical fighter – made from symbols corresponding with the particular topic included with each headline of the campaign. Nevertheless, such NOs have occurred in the Budweiser Budvar brand’s history much more frequently: the first NO was said by Czech brewers in 1890 during the census, when the German management of the České Budějovice Civic Brewery tried to force them to register as German nationals (they were supposed fill in the German language as the language they speak into the census forms). Their resolute NO at this time resulted in establishing the Czech Joint-Stock Brewery in České Budějovice – the direct predecessor of Budweiser Budvar Brewery.
