When I think about one of the best social campaigns I've ever seen, I think about when the Cubs won the world series and Budweiser was able to produce a video in real-time that showed the original announcer calling the game. Of course, he's long gone but they were able to pull old footage and recreate the game-calling experience. How did they do it? Well, I want you to take a listen to Lisa Weser who is the Senior Director of U.S. Marketing & Communications at Anheuser-Busch.

One of my favorite things about talking to Chrysi Philalithes is about when she first started working for RED and wanted to create a mantra. Of course, she wanted it to be 140 characters because after all, she is the Chief Digital Officer there. And so she sent her first tweet; “participation not promotion, dialogue not monologue, leading not following, empowering not excluding, inspiring not forcing." Chrysi has a done a tremendous job of activating digital programs for World Aids Day and for RED as a whole. At Likeable, we are so excited to participate as well. Take a listen to find out how you can too!
