Sylvester Stallone and Canelo Alvarez Trade Verbal Jabs In Tecate’s Latest “Born Bold” Campaign


Tecate, the Mexican beer with bold flavor, announced the latest evolution of its successful multiyear “Born Bold” advertising campaign, featuring the addition of legendary actor, Sylvester Stallone.

Debuting alongside Mexican super fighter Canelo Alvarez, who reprises his role following last year’s “Flashy,” Stallone and Canelo will be placed in multiple scenarios throughout the two 30-second spots entitled “Beehive:BBQ” and “Belt:Tub,” with the screen icon and star fighter humorously challenging each other to be bolder. The two will be featured alongside Tecate’s Black Eagle, who continues his iconic role as the brand’s symbol of masculinity and connection to its bi-cultural Hispanic consumer.

The commercials, created by Tecate and Nómades, will be part of a refreshed 37-week campaign, and will debut on national broadcast and online on April 20, with heavy promotion leading into Canelo’s first fight of 2017 with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on May 6th in Las Vegas. 

The campaign will also include PR, digital content across social channels, and OOH in the form of prize card point-of-sale materials at the retail level.
