A R I Z O N A × Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold

The Campaign:

Michelob ULTRA was looking to reach outdoorsy men and women who lead an active lifestyle and believe that feeling good and being happy are most motivating to live a healthy life. In pursuit of this, the brand partnered with MAX along with several other nature-passionate brands, like Merrell, Camelbak, and Kelty, to create a series of virtual concerts that encourage viewers to tune back into nature. Set across a beautiful backdrop of breathtaking hiking trails, nature centers and canyons, the Pure Golden Hour Sessions included a performance from electropop/rock band A R I Z O N A.

A R I Z O N A has described their music as “weird” and “dance-y” and they approach songwriting with the goal of creating community where everyone is welcome, whether you’re a cool kid or not. Their unique brand of moody/pop-y/synth-y rock was a perfect fit for the third of the Pure Golden Hour Sessions concerts. The event included a hike to the McKelligon Canyon amphitheater in El Paso, Texas, creating a memorable experience that celebrates the beauty of nature through live music.

A R I Z O N A’s Pure Golden Hour Sessions performance was also broadcast via the MAX SET.Livestream platform creating a communal experience that reached well beyond the amphitheater. This campaign included a sweepstakes sponsored by Michelob ULTRA where winners could win a virtual meet & greet with the artist. After the livestream aired, 15 lucky fans were treated to a Michelob ULTRA branded virtual one-on-one conversation with A R I Z O N A via the MAX SET.Meet platform.
