Within the video they talk about how America is a home to many different races and cultures. Through this video, Bud Light is delivering that message through a comedic approach, trying to engage all cultures to enjoy their product. Aside from the positive message, another contributing factor to this tweet’s success is the quality of the video; it incorporates cinematic shots, bright colours and three well-known actors. The result of all of these factors is a well-made video that targets their chosen demographics well.

Heineken

The tweet received 85 retweets and 98 likes. The reason for its success was because of its integration with the Soccer Tournament in Europe. Heineken has positioned itself as an international brand with an interest in soccer. Heineken often sponsors sport events, predominantly soccer. As a result, Heineken has a strong soccer fan community following them on Twitter and therefore this soccer related tweet has been a success.
