The Michelob Marathon seeks to capitalise on growing consumer appetite for healthy alternatives among those seeking to balance care of their bodies with an active social life.

Each ad invites Spotify Free users to visit the ‘Miles of Michelob Ultra' microsite from where personalised Spotify playlists based on running distance, intensity and location.

Tim Deeks, marketing manager for Michelob Ultra, said: “We’re really excited to be the first brand to use this innovative technology on a global scale on Spotify. With Michelob Ultra, we want to inspire people to live an active lifestyle and the Michelob Marathon with Spotify is a great platform to do so.”

Jeff Rossi, global head of industry, CPG at Spotify, added: “Audio, unlike any other medium, is able to flex to the need states of listeners – whether that’s training for a marathon, meal prepping or listening to a 5K prep podcast during your morning commute.

The campaign will premier in the UK and Mexico in tandem with Spotify's own 'Spotify for the ride' campaign before rolling out worldwide later in the year.
