Marketing Moron Explains Why She Hired a Trans Joke to be the Face of Bud Light

This is idiotic on so many levels.

First off, the first rule of marketing is to find your audience and appeal to them. Inclusivity has no place in a marketing strategy. That is her first failure.

Secondly, you are hired to make money for the company. Your role is not to be woke, profits be damned.

And the admission that they are targeting kids is disturbing. This isn’t cereal, it’s alcohol.

  1. This isn’t really her fault. It’s the fucking morons that hired her. I’ assuming this was a board of director decision. They have lost touch with their market.
    And on the other hand, Dodge Trucks and Coors Beer market shares are sky rocketing. Why? Because they flash both all over Yellowstone. And that show is just the opposite of woke. Very stupid people are running and wrecking iconic brands.

  2. The brand has declined because…..”IT’S CRAPPY BEER…IT’S ALWAYS BEEN CRAPPY BEER AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE CRAPPY BEER UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT THAT YOU MAKE CRAPPY BEER. PUTTING SOME FREAK ON A CAN DOESN’T MAKE IT LESS CRAPPY….IT’S CRAPPY BEER!…Sam Kinison voice….

  3. Inclusivity has no place in a marketing
    ——————-

    No kidding, yet, there they are making faggots their marketing target, kibda like what Trump did with them at Mar-a-Lago. Here’s Trump giving them praises, inclusive:

    “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible.”

    Puts it all into perspective as to who wants to run our country. An abomination and blasphemy. I’m not the one who coined the description.

  4. Remember when you could look for a wedding band if you were worried a new coworker seemed a bit light in the loafers, to see if he was a buttnut? Yeah, those days are over.

  5. Cultist behavior, sacrifice everything to promote “the message.” This person should be fired immediately if her employers really want save the brand.

    The mindless willingness to heed to the irrational behavior is disturbing. What reward does this person believe is waiting for her after destroying any good will the product had.

  6. I’m in my 70s. Bud has always been a beer for blue collar hard working MEN and rednecks (although I never liked it). I think my first beer at 15 or so was a Bud. It was bad then and it’s bad now. She also apparently didn’t study demographics very well as Gallup says only 7.2% of the US population identify as transgender, gay or some other LGBTQ group. So, she’s not making decisions based upon traditional marketing methods but rather the current fad or woke principles. Whoever hired her and signed off on her insane ideas should share her shame. Companies should make good products and stay out of politics and social causes. Same for celebrities.

  7. And… there’s a painting of a rainbow on the wall behind her, looks like it was done by a six year old who probably is fully indoctrinated in the sexual identity weirdness.

    I’m still pissed off that the LGBTQ+ movement rebranded that symbol of God’s covenant with his people to represent their angry agenda.

  8. I’ve never cared for Butwiper beers, none of the anheuser busch products as a matter of fact! So I will continue NOT to purchase them.

  9. Socialist activism destroys everything it infects. Including this poorly skilled, genderfluid, woke marketing hire. She’s putting the last nail in the coffin of a overhyped, low quality product – a self inflicted demise.

    When you have to explain the marketing strategy to make it “work”/plausible, it just confirms the campaign is a complete failure. Anheuser-Busch will reap what they sow – increased declining sales of Bud Light and maybe their other brands as well.

    Very true. But I would add the Board of Directors has a fiduciary responsibility for the stock holders to make money. For the corporation to excel. If the board fails to make a reasonable effort there are very stiff penalties. Maybe that’s how we see this woke crap resolved. Marketing to 2% of the population is not a viable biz plan.

  11. She probably thinks she didn’t go far enough? Maybe next beastiality or something on the product? It’s like they haven’t seen the mistakes of corporations in the last couple years.
    Normal people are repulsed and driven away from brands that do this.

  12. Agreed, Brad. What’s maniacal is how these huge corporations are so willing to strategically sacrifice a few of their brands on the alter of wokeness.
    It’s like profit loss is no biggie, because they have a monopoly and massive profit margins.

    Even Ford Corp. shrugs off their extinction by going completely green/electric in the future. They don’t care about the consumers desire for vehicles with better, efficient gas engines. Ford wants fossil fuels no longer used or accessible- how ironic.

    Either the left who run these corporations are delusional, running blind towards a cliff or they are shaping the future by any means necessary.

  13. WTF is she even talking about when she says “Out of touch humor” one for instance example I’ll give that statement was the “Real men of genius” campaign which I thought was pretty good.

    This new can label is non appealing in the least.

  14. Making your brand inclusive does not include pissing off a large percentage of your existing customers to cater to 1% of the population. Making your brand inclusive means trying to increase your overall customer base.

    She needs to try to convince America that Bud Light tastes good – which in my opinion is a tough job in and of itself. Instead, she’s giving a lot of people an excuse to try other (and better) beers.

  15. This only seems like a misstep. Hiring the fellow playing dress up is good for… wait for it… their ESG score! Cooking low octane barley pops for the booboise doesn’t rate very high intrinsically. Up that score or the bank won’t be so friendly next time around if you know what I mean. Government has regular plant and operations inspections on many angles and a better ESG score makes everything look much more positive. We know it works this way with all governments and most particularly weak authoritarian regimes… like our current mess.

  16. @On whose shoulders: “I’m betting on her in the Belmont.” – Save your money, by the looks of her, she’d come in dead last in a $1500 claiming race at Pimlico.

  17. It’s not about fiduciary responsibility anymore. It is about ESG and social credit scoring that is controlled by the 3 main sources of corporate capital in the world.

    The qay mafia makes demands and controls the BODs of these various companies kow towing to the Marxist mob to avoid defunding.

    This insipid bitch will no doubt be promoted. That’s how it works now.

    The commies have entrenched themselves in every aspect of life in America today.

    What the fags, pedos, and fake women don’t know is that they will be the first to be purged once the commies gain full control. They are the loudest, most entitled, and obnoxious minorities and the commies will quickly wipe them out. Commies don’t share power with any group with cultural influence. Especially ones who do not reproduce more commies.

    Digital currency will usher in the end times. Satan is loose upon this world and Christianity is under full assault.

    When CBDC is fully implemented you will only be able to purchase fully woke products and services and prevented from purchasing guns and ammo.

    Stock up, the end of days are coming.

  18. This hands flapping dumbass is a VICE PRESIDENT of this company!!!!!

    Let that sink in.

    So how stupid are all the other employees in the company below her rank??!

    Think of the carnage as her oblivious idiocy BURNS DOWN the entire corporation!
    (we absolutely loved visiting Busch Gardens in Williamsburg when my kids were young)

  19. No more ‘Real Men of Genius’ with a woman at the helm I guess.
    Which was a really fun bunch of ads. I don’t drink beer so it didn’t make a difference with me, but I’m sure it was effective.
