Abstract:

The case discusses the launch of Bud.TV and the reasons behind its inability to retain the initial number of unique online visitors on its site. Bud.TV promoted by Anheuser-Busch, was launched with fanfare after the Super Bowl and was eagerly awaited for its direct-to-consumer approach to marketing. Bud.TV had seven online channels each featuring a different genre of programs. The content was provided by some of the well known media companies and companies owned by Hollywood celebrities. In the first month of its launch, Comscore Media Metrix reported that Bud.TV was able to attract only around 253,000 visitors.
