Carlton Zeus × Coors Light

The Campaign:

Coors Light is partnering with San Antonio-based Latin hip-hop and electronic artist Carlton Zeus. Based on several key audience attributes, MAX identified Carlton Zeus as the ideal artist partner to help Coors Light reach their target audience in San Antonio, then built a program that allows Coors Light to promote Carlton Zeus’s song “Can’t Lose” to music fans on audio, video, social, and more. This partnership helps Coors Light connect with San Antonio’s passionate community of music fans, from new listeners to longtime fans of Carlton Zeus’s unique sound.

The “My Climb. My Music.” program features artists from across the country sharing their music and stories through documentary-style videos about how their climb has defined them as artists. The music and videos will be seen through streaming services, top FM radio stations, and social media.

“Partnering with Coors Light has been an amazing experience,” said Carlton Zeus. “It's awesome they have completely let me do my thing. I want to thank them for letting an artist be an artist. It shows they really care about the art.”

The Song: “Can’t Lose”

This campaign features “Can’t Lose,” an upbeat, dancey track from Carlton Zeus’ album Three Strikes You’re In.
