Bud Light Marketing Executive Takes Leave After Controversy: Ad Age

(Bloomberg) -- A senior marketing executive at Bud Light has taken a leave of absence, weeks after the company came under scrutiny for its partnership with a transgender influencer, Ad Age reported.

Alissa Heinerscheid, vice president of marketing for the brand, is being replaced by Budweiser global marketing VP Todd Allen, AdAge said.

The decision by the Anheuser-Busch InBev NV-owned brand comes after the company partnered with influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who has chronicled her transition into a transgender woman. In a video posted on her Instagram page April 1, Mulvaney showed off a custom Bud Light can the company made with her photo on it...


I guess their new commercial wasn't enough to win customers back:

This sets a bad precedent, as it pretty much teaches the MAGAs that if they violently protest, destroy the product, send death threats, etc.. then they can make a company bend to their whims.

Well, this is one of those hard things for Bud, and I don't envy the execs there right now.

They are in a spot where their main fanbase clashes with the need for the long-term. Bud is your "dad's beer", or heck, maybe even your grandpa's. It's not cool. Bud really wants to reinvent itself for the younger audience, but there is such a clash of ideals between the general youth it's are targeting and the current audience that makes up its fanbase.

You can't go all-in either because you still need to do well in the short-term, or else heads will roll, and the company might not be able to recover as other beer companies will be vultures and strike while the iron is hot.

Some would call New Coke the worst marketing disaster of all time, but at least, by offering a new product to replace the old, it reminded the everyday American why they loved Coke, and launched Coke right back past Pepsi by just introducing the classic version a few months after removing it. Bud didn't replace its beer, and the fact is, bud is a bad drink anyways. All this potentially did was show them old hags that the world of beer has more to offer, and in theory, better too.

Her response to all of this is a much bigger fuck up then the partnership.

All she had to do was say some vanilla shit like bud light is for everybody. Instead she basically doubled down and said something along the lines of for the brand to continue to be relevant they need to move away from their fratty sense of humor image. Which, regardless of how you view that statement, its generally not a good business strategy to shit on your established clientele base in an attempt to appeal to a new one.

That's actually like one of the cutest commercials I've seen in awhile. I wish I could say "I dunno why people are seething" but we all know exactly why sadly.

I don't know much about Dylan Mulvaney, but I was under the impression that she was widely disliked, even by a lot of liberals, because her schtick is like an over-the-top, grotesque parody of what being a woman is.
