Budding Revolution?

Posted on June 16, 2008

I came across this graffiti artist again today.  His All-American(?) work seems to be popping up all over Chicago.

 It could be a fascinating commentary on “America”.  Or then again, I could be reading too much into it.  One thing that it did do, was get me thinking about American icons, especially in light of InBev’s bid to buy Anheuser Busch .

It will be fascinating to watch it all play out.  The consistency of the Budweiser brand and its patriotic, American equities are well-known.  It will be interesting to see if the grass roots efforts to keep Budweiser out of the Belgian/Brazillian company’s hands will have any sway over Anheuser-Busch’s board and their fiduciary responsibility.  As for the Mexican alternative?  It looks like the same issue…different flavor.

It is an iconic brand and a movement in the making….right in our wheel house.  We will be watching.

How about you?
