Redefining Customer & Company
summary
Claims that NFTs let Anheuser-Busch create direct two‑way customer relationships despite the three-tier system, using token gating and smart contracts to turn tickets, access and collectibles into a liquid market. Built a cross‑functional internal team, piloted paid drops (Bud Light, Budweiser, Goose Island Bourbon County access), partnered with VaynerNFT, Zed Run and Tom Sachs, and accepted ETH, BTC and a credit‑card checkout to onboard first‑time buyers. Estimates consumer NFT adoption at about 5% in the US and reports measurable momentum across brands.
