Beckham’s Continued Partnership with Stella Artois
This isn’t Beckham’s first collaboration with Stella Artois. As the brand’s Global Ambassador, he starred in a previous campaign where he was humorously unrecognized in a bar. Stella Artois aims to highlight the genuine connections fostered over their beer through these lighthearted commercials. The Super Bowl LIX ad, aired during the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, successfully combined humor and star power to deliver a memorable moment for viewers.
