Build Something × Modelo Recognition Advertising · Confidential

Recognition Advertising · Founding Partner

The brand was already there.

A new kind of advertising that finds Modelo inside the real life it already lives in — and names it.

The shift

For a century, advertising invented a better life and sold it back to you.

The old grammar

“This could be your life.”

The new grammar

“This is already your life.”

Recognition advertising finds the brand already inside a real moment and names it — instead of inserting it into an invented one. Modelo doesn't need a fictional Friday. There's a real one.

The proof

A member described his life. Modelo was already in it.

“Every Friday after work I stop at the same taco place by myself before I go home. Six years now. I eat, I have a Modelo, I look out the window. It helps me switch from one thing to the other. I don't know how to explain it better than that.”

Victor's Friday, made into a film still

He didn't describe a Modelo ad. He described his Friday. Modelo was already in it.

What Modelo gets

Witnessed inside a real life. Never inserted into a fake one.

01

Named, not inserted

Modelo appears where it already lives, inside the real moments members share — evidence, not interruption.

02

The films

Cinematic short films where Modelo shows up the way it shows up in life: without announcement, without performance.

03

Founding sponsor

The first brand named inside a new category, while the air is clearest — and the patron behind the recognition itself.

By application.

We're accepting a small number of founding sponsors whose values align with ours. One brand per category. Modelo can be the first inside recognition advertising.
