When you go to market with a new product or a new campaign for that matter, you have one chance to make a first impression. Which leaves Anheuser-Busch in a quandry as it seeks to fix Bud.tv.

“At this point I don’t know how you get back in if you blow it because you’re branded with the corporate stink of ‘We don’t understand this [online] world’,” said Angela Calman, president of Calman Media, a vlogger consultancy in Washington and publisher of Mediamogirl.com.
