3 years ago, Budweiser decided to promote the careers of emerging music artists in order to protect them from all of the bad habits of the traditional music industry. That’s why the brand created BUDXRECORDS, a music label that has been working on discovering those hidden superstars that want to be famous but haven’t had the opportunity to be listened by the world. Every year, different types of activations need to me bade in order to do so.

Everyday is very common that streamers and gamers use music in the background of their lives. However, platforms like Twitch bans and blocks them when they don’t own the rights of that music. Budweiser found the way to help them, by creating Royalty Free Bot to hijack the platform and helping new artists to promote their music at the same time.
