Sponsorship & Brand Integration Market: Stella Artois Partners With The Gentlemen for New Spot
Stella Artois has launched a campaign tied to season 2 of Netflix's The Gentlemen featuring a 90-second cinematic spot starring Theo James with a cameo from David Beckham. The creative centers on the brand's 'There’s Power in the Pour' pouring ritual and includes five 15-second vignettes, social content on Netflix and Stella Artois channels, and an experiential activation at The Marlborough Pub in London from September 3–5 offering limited-edition personalized chalices. AB InBev’s global CMO Marcel Marcondes and actor Theo James provided commentary on the authenticity of the partnership.
Brand integration between a major advertiser (Stella Artois/AB InBev) and a streaming series on Netflix shows ongoing growth of streaming-native sponsorships and experiential tie-ins, but it is not industry-shifting.
