From the Paper:

"In 2007, citing alterations in customers' viewing habits, Anheuser-Busch increased its marketing budget and moved spending to online and cable. They considerably increased their total spent, with alterations in their media mix to reflect the viewing habits of their customers. Those amendments included a considerable move into cable and a doubling of digital spending. Anheuser-Busch asserted that its target audience spends two-thirds of its television-viewing time watching cable TV. The brewer preserved its current levels of advertising for broadcast sporting events, while decreasing ad spends for prime-time network TV (Anheuser-Busch to Double Digital Spend, 2006).
"Figuring out an advertising budget is a long standing challenge. But, as media options have become more plentiful and the racket in the marketplace has gone up, the budgeting choice has grown more and more tricky. The affiliation between advertising goals and budget choices is a vital one. The advertising budgeting choice can be broken down into two major components: how much should be spent on advertising and promotion, and how the total advertising and promotion money set aside for different media, different products, geographic areas or target markets should be allocated. Figuring out the size of the advertising budget is a very significant decision. It influences the future impact of all of the firm's marketing labors and determines the firm's future marketing plan."
