I need more popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Get Woke.
Go Broke.
Bud Light went Brokeback Mountain.
(somebody will post the meme) 🤣
From what I understand, AB-Inbev is keep it quiet. For example, they quietly fired that marketing dingbat and the person who hired her in the first place. They’re not issuing the apologies, because if they did, all the Frank N. Furters (A Scientist) and other assorted feral weirdos will cause REAL trouble for them.
So they’re hoping they can quietly ride this one out while making minor adjustments to their advertising. But judging by their recent ads, it’s also like they simply can’t help themselves, because some of them may be quite woke as well.
“Anheuser-Busch’s reign in America is over”
I thought Belgian Inbev owned AB......or am I out in left field.........again? 🤔
Bud has recently been running ads telling everyone how much they support veterans. That’s a noble cause, to be sure. But it looks self-serving because it is self-serving. And it reminds folks once again what a jerk company Anheuser-Busch is.
Here’s my suggestion to them. Keep on supporting the vets. But do it quietly. And don’t run any ads like for a year. Then slowly start to build the brand back.
That’s probably their best shot.
It’s all a huge international conglomerate, this company owns that company that owns that company that owns.......
The hilarious part is, the solution is so obvious any one of us could more than likely turn it around, but they keep doubling down over and over........it’s like watching a drunk dude continually punch himself in the face and expecting it to knock someone else out........it really does defy logic. SMH
I think InBev is letting ChatGPT manage their advertising strategy.
Ah got it.......kinda like the old Abbott and Costello “who’s on first” routine.....and makes about as much sense.
Didn’t they really give micro brewers hell, in that they limited the ability of independent distributors to distribute anyone’s beers except their own?
No. Their best shot is to fire the entire executive suite and marketing department and to issue an apology by an advertising campaign. Their loss of market share is way more damaging than upsetting some stupid ESG scoring website.
It’s a myth that they fired her.
I see a lot of Modelo beer ads , they’re taking advantage of the stupidity
Seriously? I heard she was initially suspended, but then the company ultimately fired her and the person who hired her.
I stood about 20 ft. away from the area and watched as shoppers walked by. Virtually every single one of them either got a smirk on their face about the brand and/or openly mocked Bud Light to whoever they were with.
This isn't going away soon...
My next door neighbors are from Honduras, and they drink Bud Light, but they don’t keep up with American cultural phenomena.
Price is their reason.................
“Owning up to stupidity” is not going to work. AB has essentially made known that their core values do not include familiy values and general civility. It is in their nature to be mendacious, not merely “stupid.”
And STILL not an apology to be found.
> Their best shot is to fire the entire executive suite and marketing department and to issue an apology by an advertising campaign. <
You’re certainly right about that. But that’s something the idiots in charge would never consider. The best an A-B shareholder can hope for is for them to keep their mouths shut.
No more silly commercials. No more silly tweets. Hunker down, and try not to draw any more incoming fire.
