It was great to hear more about how Anheuser-Busch is incorporating social into their marketing mix. I completely agree that social can bring tremendous brand energy. And Mr. Levy’s comment on how millions of fans are great, but that 100,000 of the right kind of fans was spot on!

I really loved hearing how Mr. Levy builds his team. It is sometimes too easily forgotten how important it is to have team members from different backgrounds and experiences. All of the crucial decisions you need to make about positioning your brand become much easier that way.

I particularly liked how honest Mr. Levy was here. He acknowledged that they don’t get it right 100% of the time, which is really something coming from such a top brand. His response about injecting more science into their marketing process was also great to hear.
