She gone?

[goldmom]

I don’t think she is “fired” in the old fashioned sense but supposedly she’s “taken a leave of absence” and AB has had the Head of Global Marketing to step in to replace her.
Bud Light sales remain down nearly 11%. I am surprised because I thought it would be more after all this uproar.
Disclaimer: I’ve never had a BL in my life. Not much of a beer drinker but if I have a beer it’s usually that beer flavored water otherwise known as Michelob Ultra.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

I wouldn’t drink an Anheuser Busch product if it was the last beer on earth. The St. Louis Cardinals are SOTE. The Clydesdales are nice though.

Bud Light maker didn’t fire marketing team over LGBTQ ads

The popular beer brand’s partnership with the influencer in recent days sparked a wave of transphobic commentary among conservative social media personalities, who attacked the company for supposedly turning to “woke” advertising.

OP must get super triggered when he sees a biracial couple with mixed race kids on a TV commercial. That will be next for the GQP cancel culture.

I feel like you have to have some major insecurities in your life to feel uncomfortable with a Bud Light Ad?

She failed bigly.

She didn't fail. The person who hired her did. Who do you think would be a better spokesperson for NASCAR, Lizzo or Chris Stapleton? Know your audience.

It wasn’t even an ad. They gave the trans a commemorative can with her picture on it to celebrate 1 year since transitioning. The horror, I know.

While I agree, I hope this isn’t true as it would be a terrible business decision.

This whole thing has gotten ridiculously out of hand, but if the people on the other side of this issue are Kid Rock, Clay Travis and Donald Trump Jr., I’m pretty comfortable with my position.

Stock prices are based on investors' predictions of company value in the future. They're not based on what's happening today.

Bud Light might go the way of Milwaukee's Best, but INBEV will be fine.

Yes...INBEV loses an entire product line, and their stock goes up 6%

Makes total sense!!!!

If I had to pick just one beer, Psuedo Sue from Toppling Goliath.

With that said I’ve got about 5-6 different IPA crowlers in my basement fridge right now, and a few barrel aged stouts.

Better drink those quick. They don't age all that well, typically, especially when they are "bar fills" and not production area fills in bottles or cans.

Seriously though I think this marketing mistake will die out pretty quickly.

Here's my take: Five to ten years ago, most people would have had a Live and Let Live attitude towards transgenders, but it's gotten to the point that it gets shoved down everyone's throats left and right, and when it reached a blue collar brand like Bud Light, the people finally said enough is enough. Live your life, but quit making us celebrate it. Just give us the product and quit injecting ideology into it.

I'll compare it to overly patriotic displays years after 9/11; I'm as patriotic as they come, but even I grew weary of, for example, God Bless America being played every 7th inning stretch. I can only imagine how annoying it got for others. But if you point it out, then you're accused of hating America.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I'm not trying to make this about anything political but the second post was right...

This was a terrible idea from the start. You have to know your audience and you had to know this type of thing would upset the crowd. The VP representing this company will cost the company money. That's basic economics.

Whut? It’s being forced down your throat? Who is forcing you to celebrate or support anything? Avert your eyes if people who are different from you are that triggering.

No.

The rumor that the entire marketing department was fired was false.

Joe in the corporate world, this type of “leave” translates to she gone. War is over at Bud light marketing team.
