re: Bud Light has not recovered since the conservative boycott, per Bloomberg:

It has simply been replaced with another InBev product: Modelo. People need to understand that boycotting just one product isn't enough—you have to boycott the entire corporation. I know it can be challenging because only a handful of corporations literally own everything.

This is incorrect. And I know b/c I have a relative that works for the company that owns Modelo.

The boycott I think was mostly in the US and affected US sales. You are correct that Modelo replaced them as the leader in the US but they are owned by another company, Constellation.

Modelo is owned by InBev everywhere else. So yes it hurt their pocketbook by loss of US sales to another company that profited.

That isn't true,

Yes, yes it is.

You realize it was just a can right? There was no ad. It was 100% that one woman.

I don’t think they completely understand who their customer base was….

It's not just that. They didn't understand that there are 100s of alternatives that people can buy that are just as good. They acted as if they had a firm hold on the marketing of beer at that quality and price level.

FIFY

Bud Light was king only bc of marketing and name recognition. Their product isn’t superior to competitors and is, in fact, subpar to many.

Bud Light has always been little more than carbonated water with a tad of grain flavor. That’s it.

No, no it isn't.

Yes, yes it was.

What campaign? Mulvany's Instagram? And yes, she did. There wasn't even a commercial
Heinerscheid was put on leave on in April of 2023. She officially left in October.

correct:

n May 2023, Modelo Especial became the top selling beer in the United States by retail sales volume, surpassing Bud Light. While both beers are owned by the same parent company outside of the United States, the Modelo brand is owned by Constellation Brands in the US and therefore is not affiliated with AB InBev.

So drink Modelo in the US but not outside the US.

What campaign?

---

Alissa Heinerscheid, the vice president of marketing, highlighted the campaign during the “Make Yourself at Home” podcast last week, where the exec said she wanted to transform Bud Light’s brand.

“I’m a businesswoman, I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light, and it was ‘This brand is in decline, it’s been in a decline for a really long time, and if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for Bud Light,’” Heinerscheid said.

She also condemned the company’s previous branding, saying: “We had this hangover, I mean Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it was really important that we had another approach.”


This campaign, dingus. Like I said, if you don't get it by now, it's on purpose. Just drink your tranny beer and smile the next time a man goes in the bathroom with your wife.
