A real-time earned media moment: a Chiefs lineman’s beer-soaked celebration turned into a league fine, a charity donation, and a truckload of Budweiser.
Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Fisher hits a Stone Cold Steve Austin celebration with the beers of fans, a Bud Light and a Budweiser specifically, during the 2019 AFC Divisional game against the Houston Texans.

I use Budweiser’s social media and real-time community management to start a search for the fans who sacrificed their beers for the celebration.

The NFL fines Fisher for the celebration. Budweiser offers to pay the same amount to a charity of Eric Fisher’s choice. Fisher chimes in on the fun on social media.

Budweiser cuts a $14,037 check and finds the fans who gave up their beers for Fisher’s epic celebration. They get a meet-and-greet, a whole lot of beer, and the story of a lifetime.
