Do you keep a spreadsheet to manage all of your woke grievances?

I think he just borrowed the template you use for any criticism of JD.

Yeah, well before the tranny incident I looked up domestic beer sales and market share out of curiosity. I was shocked at how much Bud Light dominated the market. It was like Bud Light was 33% and everything else was less than 5%. And Americans drink a TON of beer - more than I expected.

Running this ship aground is a collasal blunder. Maybe not New Coke bad but this is going to make some noise in the marketing world.

Honestly people will ignore this enough and keep drinking that beer. Conservatives historically don't like the fight. Sad to see Bud allow this foolishness happen.

Which is why Bud Light was the one with the tranny. When you have to bump up the ESG score, use the "too big to fail" brand.

This will be a blip on the radar, they got their 25 points in the ESG matrix, and move on.

There's a big difference between LGBs and Ts. The LGBs can't stand the Ts either. I know it's anecdotal, but I the friends I have that are Ls and Gs hate this shite more than I do.


There is a difference, but early on with latest trans push the left quickly pounced on any Ls or Gs thinking on their own. Some have gotten indoctrinated into believing it now while others just stay silent.

Mrs. Heinerscheid graduated from the Wharton School of Business (University of Pennsylvania 2012/2013), around the same time as Ivanka Trump. She interned with General Mills (Cheerios brand), before ultimately landing the job with Anheuser Bush as VP of Marketing for Bud Light.


How does someone go from an intern at cereal company to the VP of a multi-billion, worldwide recognized brand in what appears to be almost overnight?

To be so “smart” these people don’t understand their target audience at all

Bud light baws want to drink a 6 pack after a hard days work or drink at a tailgate .

We don’t wanna see that tranny skeletor parade around as the spokesperson
I agree it was a stupid move, but I can see the concept.

Budweiser doesn't need to market to it's core market, it's widely (and rightfully) assumed Bubba and Billy Ray aren't going to swap to Miller or Coors, and they sure ain't gonna "waste money" on crafts brands. They walk right past the IPA selections, probably never bought one. MAYBE in Louisana, you have a few that will pick up Andygator or similar, on special occasions, because "made in La".

So, marketing figures the base is secure, and they're trying to swipe a different market.
I would guess the true mistake, if you want to call it that, is that they didn't put it on a smaller brand within the umbrella. And I agree, they went TOO far. Go after the hipster market, not the tranny.

Doubt it happened overnight, but in light of the current situation do you really not get why she was put there?

Inclusivity knows no bounds.

Very interesting:

@OliLondonTV
The woman behind the BudLight Dylan Mulvaney campaign uses She/Her pronouns on LinkedIn.

In an unsurfaced video prior to the brand’s collaboration with Dylan, the brands VP of Marketing, talked about “having a campaign that’s truly inclusive and appeals to women”.

So she then decided it would be a great ‘inclusive’ idea to chose to have a man represent women!

Since the backlash against Bud Light erupted the woman behind the decision to feature Dylan has removed her pronouns from bio and deleted her profile photo.

She's even getting throttled on LinkedIn, and I guarantee you those names are going into an excel sheet somewhere.

Her profile highlights that she is the first female to lead a beer brand or something, which tells you all you need to know.

Someone downvote me, I see

But this is what I think they were doing-

They walk right past the IPA selections, probably never bought one. MAYBE in Louisana, you have a few that will pick up Andygator or similar, on special occasions, because "made in La".

Those same marketers who know Miller isn't going to steal their customers, know they won't get Miller's or Coors guys either. Those markets are basically locked in.

I think the intent was to get on the hipster radar, the guys who also drink Starbucks coffee, for lack of a better analogy.
Note, I said INTENT. And as I also said earlier, maybe not clearly enough, this was a dumb overreach, they pushed too far.

Look at what Levi's did a few years back. When I was a kid, jeans and Levi's were synonymous, for basic denim blue jeans that weren't fashion statements. Some wore Lee's, some wore Wranglers, most wore Levi's... unless you were after Guess, Girbaud, Cavaricci, etc. But you don't throw on a pair of designer jeans to go cut the grass, you wore them going out.

Levi's changed it's marketing and pushed skinny jeans etc, and for a lot it's gone too far. They've lost a core audience that most assumed was automatic.
Budweiser seems to be doing the same thing, they ASSUMED they could broaden the appeal, without affecting the main portion of their sales. They may have messed up.

Don’t blame her because she happens to be totally clueless. Blame the idiots that were stupid enough to hire her.

If I was the marketing lead for Miller or Coors I could come up with some awesome commercials to take advantage of this slip up…..but I’d probably get canceled.

How her ideological outlook passed through the corporate filtration, is a case study on corporate stupidity.




The Universities are the source of the madness behind this campaign. You send your children to universities to get accredited for a job. This was inevitable.

Your alcoholic uncle will stop buying Bud Light for a month until he forgets about this situation.

Conservatives lack the courage to do what is necessary.

If I’m Yuengling I do a national ad with baseball, mom, apple pie etc. and call itself the “Original American Beer for everyday Americans”. Maybe a short term coupon promo to entice people to try it.

If someone really wanted to go after Bud, they could have a commercial with someone talking about Farmer Bud putting his horse out to pasture and going dress shopping.
