Quote HistoryQuoted: SOURCE: Top Anheuser-Busch Marketing Executives Behind Boycott Are No Longer Employed https://images.dailycaller.com/image/width=1280,height=549,fit=cover,f=auto/https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot_Daily-Updates-News_Youtube_Alissa-Heinerscheid-e1687872312549.jpg The two top Anheuser-Busch marketing executives who were placed on leave amid the company shakeup no longer work for the brand, a source inside Anheuser-Busch confirmed in texts obtained by the Daily Caller on Tuesday. Group Vice President for Marketing Daniel Blake and Bud Light Marketing Vice President Alissa Heinerscheid are “gone gone,” according to obtained text messages with a current regional head of marketing. The Caller is granting anonymity to the source to discuss legally fraught internal company policy. “To my understanding if we publicly announced the word ‘fire’ it opens up the potential for them to sue us. Thats why we said leave of absence,” the source said in a text message obtained by the Caller. “The wholesalers would have had an absolute HAY DAY with leadership if they didn’t remove her,” the source inside the company also said. “To be fair- Daniel Blake was actually awesome. I think he was just caught in cross fire. But also he did hire her… so that’s a fault,” the source continued. “Wholesalers were told they are both gone for good by leadership during in person conversations. They already shifted all their direct reports to new people and the head of marketing,” the source added in another text message obtained by the Caller.... Im not a lawyer, but im curious as to the legal standing a "wrongul termination" lawsuit would have against a "your ad campaign cost us 6 BILLION + dollars lawsuit and were fired". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I went to the Cardinals game last week and during one of the breaks they put a guy up on the Jumbotron and he was holding a BL tall boy. The crowd started booing him while he was on the screen. If you get booed at Busch Stadium for holding a Bud Light, you know it's really bad and worse than they are saying. It would be fun if there was video of that.

Right now, their focus is to keep that number up so they don't lose shelf space to their competitors. Hence the deep discounta and rates.

"I think one of the things that you're likely to see if some of that challenge [with Bud Light] continues is when we look at shelf resets in the back half of the year," Newlands told analysts on an earnings call just a few days ago. "Many retailers look at velocities as they are doing their shelf resetting, which, again, often happens in the fall. And that always works to our advantage. I think the retailing environment has gotten very, very sophisticated about seeing where the growth profiles are and the velocities against those." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bud-lights-troubles-may-extend-into-fall-oktoberfest-season-160336461.html |

I don't really care how people want to live their own lives as adults that are responsible for themselves even if I think what they are doing is wrong. When they try to force their controversial lifestyle into other people's lives and go after their kids then they can go F themselves and face the backlash. Trans is something that less than 1% of the population can identify as and they already get way more fucking attention than they deserve. I don't need or want that plastered all over random products I buy. Its BAD business to support the fringes on either side. I wouldn't expect them to put weirdo Christian cults on cans and they shouldn't put trans on cans, either. |

They however don't think that it's enough for you to simply tolerate them; you have to actively and openly celebrate / encourage / support them. It's the same tactic that was used in 2020 with "white fragility" where it's not sufficient to be colorblind, accepting, and non-racist...no, you have to be anti-racist and endorse the oppressed / oppressor narrative. |

(sarcasm off, leftists never reach into their own wallets) @15jonshoot It's very easy to have missed it in the swarm of information over time, but the sexual anarchy side got mad at AB because AB did not go 1000% full throated support and absolute utter condemnation of everyone not on the sexual anarchy side of things. When AB did some tiny not really beleiving in it pull-back from supporting their side of things, they got mad, and news was reporting some gay bars dropping their product. Also the HRC downgraded their ... in crude terms, "woke" rating (cei index) for not being "fully committed to the revolution, comrade." AB has managed to tick off *both sides* of the aisle. It's just that it takes a LOT less to hurt the precious fee-fees on the other side. "You're supporting people trying to normalize genital mutilation to my kids" vs "but why didn't you go at it a zillion percent when your sales went in the toilet?!?!" |

Kid Rock is selling Bud Light at his bar again despite shooting up a case of the beer with his AR-15 in protest of its collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney. In April, Kid Rock was left so furious with Bud Light's choice of influencer that he took out several cases with an automatic gun - but the drink is still being sold at his Big Honky Tonk & Steakhouse in Nashville. The pro-Trump singer, wearing a MAGA hat, said he wanted to send a 'clear and concise' message after discovering trans content creator Dylan Mulvaney was working with the beer company. But now eagle-eyed drinkers have noticed that despite his staunch message, the controversial beer is still available to purchase at his establishment. ?????

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/tom-olohan/2023/07/07/michael-knowles-issues-scathing-ultimatum-bud-light
Knowles went after Bud Light hard on The Michael Knowles Show, July 6th, noting the steps the company had taken in response to customers outraged by their partnership with “transgender” actor Dylan Mulvaney. Knowles condemned Bud Light for “using fallen soldiers as a last ditch effort to resuscitate the brand,” in a recent ad. Knowles stated that Bud Light only aired a recent ad on their charity efforts to try to win back customers. Speaking to Anheuser-Busch’s clueless executives, Knowles said, “There is only one way out of the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco. There is only one way out,” before panning unsuccessful Bud Light ads. Knowles continued, “You know the one way out of this? The only shot, I’m not saying this will even work, the only shot that Bud Light has out of the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco, apologize.

At this point, I don't know what they could do to make people believe it. I also dont' know what else they could do that would "fix" it other than apologizing making everyone believe it. IF they had have listened to their customers right after this happened and apologized than, some people might have believed them. This is what happens when you're insular and out of touch. ESG and all that stuff is DESIGNED to make you out of touch and ignorant. |

What it would take would be action to back up the words (that they find themselves unable to offer up anyway). Discontinuing any LGBTQ sponsorship. Diverting that money toward conservative charity. Sponsoring patriotic events and denouncing LGBTQ nonsense both publicly and privately.
But they won’t do that. They won’t even come close to that. The words will continue to be tepid at best and won’t match their actions. Which is why they’ll continue to fail. |

New sales data seen by Newsweek has shown that Bud Light is still feeling the impact of its boycott as it sees a percentage drop in revenue from sales for June, compared with the same time last year.
NielsenIQ sales data, obtained by Newsweek via industry consultancy firm Bump Williams Consulting, showed over a four-week period, ending July 1, Bud Light saw a 28 percent decrease in revenue sales as well as a decrease in volume. The brand's volume the number of units of beer sold was down 31.2 percent compared with the same time last year as well. This data highlights how the brand continues to see a financial impact from the ongoing boycott, predominantly spearheaded by conservatives, against the beer. |

Exactly, since somehting like 50% of the country votes in federal elections, and then 50% of those are R, 50% D(ball park) that means that even if EVERY conservative WAS a budlight drinker, that 6.5% of the D coters ALSO boycotted. However since R's TEND to be more socially conservative and less prone to drinking(marginally), then that would be less than the expected even split. |

That's 100% true, and I believe you're saying it's Bi-partisan boycott  Bud light also made itself the TQAAIP+ Beer, they made a fucking can with Dylan (in womanface.) on it. They literally did that. They also hired him (So he said.), and denied it IIRC.  But the media is not about telling the truth, or objectively reporting facts, or getting to the bottom of things. They're fundamentalist (woke) religious activists pursuing political power (over you specifically, Cleetus.) The. End. |

Old joke- A man asks a woman if she would be willing to sleep with him if he pays her an exorbitant sum. She replies affirmatively. He then names a paltry amount and asks if she would still be willing to sleep with him for the revised fee. The woman is greatly offended and replies as follows: She: What kind of woman do you think I am? He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ehh, even if they did, I wouldnt believe them. MOre like when a kids gets cought doing something wrong. Not sorry for what they did (for the most part) just sorry they got caught and punished. Basically; sincerely apologize, make amends, remain consistent in your new direction, be patient. |

https://www.westernjournal.com/costco-appears-handed-bud-light-painful-death-star/ Costco Appears to Have Handed Bud Light a Painful 'Death Star' By Jack Davis July 12, 2023 at 6:37am Social media reports indicate things could even get worse for the beer that is making boycotts famous. To the uninitiated, the little asterisk on the upper right-hand corner of the Bud Light price tags at a few Costco stores — as seen in images now making the rounds of Twitter — is just a little speck of type. But in the universe of the members-only warehouse retail chain, the asterisk is noted as the “death star,” because when it appears on a label, it means the store does not plan to restock the product once its supply is sold out, according to Newsweek. Images show the “death star” on different can sizes and packaging, which could mean only certain Bud Light sizes are fading away at certain stores.
 The Western Journal reached out to Costco for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Marie Clark, editor of the shopping site CostContessa, offered confirmation that the mark shown on the Bud Light price tag is indeed called the “death star” by Costco customers. “On Costco price tags, if you see an asterisk in the upper right-hand corner, this indicates an item won’t be restocked,” Clark said in a September 2022 interview on the food-centered website TheKitchn. “The item might be full price or it might be discounted — an asterisk alone doesn’t tell you more than that. But if it’s something you want and you were thinking, ‘Oh, I’ll come back and get it next week instead,’ you might want to think twice and purchase it now,” she said. Newsweek noted that according to figures from industry consultant Bump Williams Consulting, over the four weeks that ended July 1, Bud Light’s revenue dropped 28 percent compared with the same time a year ago. Quick, rush to costco and ... DON'T BUY anything AB.
