We'll see. If they double down on their stance, you are right. If they pull back, then it's a sign that smarter heads prevail. Just so stupid. And of course it was driven by their focus on "inclusivity."
One thing the C-Suite responds quickly to is money. Many of them would rearrange their values if it meant a higher stock price. Anything can be rationalized, which is how they got here in the first place.
Frankly, I'm enjoying the pushback on woke-ism even if it means I just gave up a favorite beer. I'll take that trade... there are many more beers out there.
I'll play Devils Advocate a bit here as someone who has also spent plenty of time in the C-Suite and upper levels of management. AB released a statement a few days ago that said senior leadership (minus the Marketing VP) were not aware of this campaign.
That could absolutely be the case. Most people don't realize how completely out of touch the C-Suite can be with anyone or anything below their immediate direct reports. Even if they are getting that information passed up to them in status reports or some form of recurring status meeting a lot of that stuff is going in one ear and out the other. There is so much information to absorb and process at that level that this could easily have gotten lost in the noise or there was some other larger fire to put out or whatever.
Im not saying this is what happened but it EASILY could have. Ive seen stuff like this happen more times than I count. That being said I won't be drinking AB products, granted I don't drink them anyway so Im already ahead.

No, she knows it and she's not shocked. AB is thinking "why not include EVERYONE". Why does it have to always be "either/or"?

Incidentally, AB's stock was up almost 6% last month, but sales fell less than 4% this past week after the "outrage" that a trans person drinks Bud Light too. Looks like a stock buying opportunity to me, while I SMDH.
I actually never saw him drink any in his videos, he just held it while acting like an idiot
An ad campaign targeting a very tiny fraction of the beef drinking population, so small in fact that it is statistically a non-factor tells you that this campaign was not about increasing beer sales. The fact that people rejecting BL understand that and you don't is telling.Opalka said:No, she knows it and she's not shocked. AB is thinking "why not include EVERYONE".

It might be a long while (if ever) to recapture most of us former Bud Light drinkers. Buying stock now might be a very risky bet…

The vast majority of beer drinkers do not associate positive feelings with a trans activist. Quite the opposite. And that is why this affiliate marketing effort backfired.
Trump will fix it.
Being "inclusive" doesn't require that you highlight the fringes at the expense of the middle.
A campaign that would have worked better would have been to include Dylan in some sort of montage ad with lumberjacks, truck drivers, athletes, dancers, mailmen, etc.... to highlight that "our product is for everyone".
A simple ad would be to start with a backyard bbq and have someone pass a bud light from one person to another, then pass another one to someone else, but then transition that someone else to a different venue with different people. Continue in that vein for a few people and if you wnat to include some obviously lgbt people in that montage, then do so.
That would show the "inclusivity" they are looking for without the in your face mental illness that Dylan Mulvaney presents.

Guess we know who AB's latest paid influencer is.
The "boycott" is a shot across the bow to all of corporate America. AB just happens to have chosen the wrong message at exactly the wrong time and is facing the backlash of a fed-up populace.
This needs to hurt to the point that it impacts the cultural conversation and corporate America's force feeding of DEI/ESG down the throats of the average citizen.

Anecdotal observations (including my own) are that bud light sales are down FAR more than 4%. More the inverse as in down 96% (or more TBH). But it's your money to lose so make that play if you really believe. Better and certainly safer play would be to invest in the brewing companies that market the potential replacement beers of choice.

They supposedly own or control 250 brands of beer in the world, but some of those may be water (including Perrier and Nestle brand bottled water).

Pro-tip: your product will never appeal to everyone. Play to your base and try to recruit the outer edges of it. Don't piss off your base by contradicting the brand.
Bad move by Trump Jr here and shows he doesn't understand how the culture war works. You press them to do your bidding and then you press them some more. Don't stop until they double their donations to conservative causes. That's how the Left does it and so should we. Screw this surrendering because they gave us some money in the past crap.

Once the beer leaves the brewery it's "sold" as far as AB or any other brewer is concerned. You're right the numbers mean nothing. When the distributors start informing the breweries to not send the trucks is when the real numbers show up.

Market cap dropped by 4%. Not sales. Anecdotally, if sales drops are anything like initially believed by distributors based on consumption and orders, expect a 7.5%+ drop in sales. You don't want to know what that will do to an established company's Market Cap.

Was just in HEB by Lake Georgetown. Miller Lite was wiped out. Coors Light had a few 12 packs left. That's it. Lone Star seemed to be close to bare as well. BL, Ultra, Natty, Busch, all looked untouched.
For what it's worth.

Quote:
As the CEO of a company founded in America's heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew.
We're honored to be part of the fabric of this country. Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues. We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.
We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.
My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.
I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.
Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.

Pretty sure most of you don’t know me.
I would join the boycott, except that I've already not been buying Bud Light because I don't like its taste. Maybe if Shiner or Guinness goes woke, it would affect my life.
