As Anheuser-Busch InBev transforms its marketing to become hyper-relevant to a variety of audiences, it’s moving away from standard focus groups—and talking with a lot more consumers a lot more frequently.
Marcel Marcondes, the company’s U.S. CMO, says the brewing giant now has an online panel of more than 6,000 consumers who talk with the company daily about a variety of topics.
