 Last week the snow melted. My first task was to ride the property line along the road to clean up any Bud Light cans that might have been tossed there over the winter. Would want that shit on my property.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hhsmiley: If AB is surprised that it's not just BL, this is yet another example of how little they think of their customers and how dumb they think they are. "You mean these rubes have figured out that we make other beers besides Bud and now they aren't buying those too?" With every single thing AB does or doesn't do in response to this situation they made, they just keep digging the hole deeper. What AB needs to do is realize that what they did was *wrong* - say it was wrong, and than act like it was wrong - and apologize for it. Because they got involved in the culture wars, they now have no choice but to pick a side, if they want to get out of this cleanly. Otherwise, that fence they are trying to ride will cut them in half like a judas chair. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By grendelbane: BUD wanted to be inclusive and bring every one together over a beer. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. OG beer drinkers and LGBTQs are both boycotting AB-InBev products. That beer they are celebrating over? It is a Coors, or a Miller, maybe a Yeungling or a locally brewed craft beer. Anything but an AB-InBev product.  If another beer company had non feminine balls they would come out with a commercial of everyone hanging out and enjoying a beer with a narrator thanking AB for making this possible. |

Then the CEO essentially blamed the boycotters for not appreciating Bud Light’s inclusivity. Interesting how spitting on your base = inclusivity. The new left of the 60s and such loved marcuse. Marcuse defined inclusivity so that you had to ruthlessly exclude everyone and everything "on the right." That stuck, and now that the left are the empire, they are doing it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lone_Eagle: AB is between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, we are boycotting them for the ad campaign. On the other hand, you have the alphabet soup nuts boycotting for AB "apologizing". Need to redo that "button choice" meme for this one......lol No… The alphabet people and thier allies make a tiny portion of BL/AB sales. AB doesn’t care about that. AB is stuck between a true grassroots boycott by the bulk of their actual customers and “cancel culture”. No win situations exist and BL put themselves in one. Cancel culture is actually powerful because it’s driven by a vocal minority, MSM, and social media algorithms… and wholly in bed with woke culture. On the other hand I’ll bet 90% of actual normal people (AB/BL customers) think the trans movement is retarded bullshit … but they don’t say anything and don’t voice their opinions because cancel culture effectively silences free speech. Sure, you’re free to say what you want; and then lose your career and home and security. You know what you can do though and not face an ounce of backlash? Not buy shitty Budweiser products. It’s exactly the reason we got polls saying Hillary 90%+ to win and then Trump curb stomping her… the left never learns. |

Anheuser-Busch stock downgraded by HSBC analysts over Bud Light ‘crisis’ By Ariel Zilber May 10, 2023 11:46am Updated The stock of Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch has been downgraded by analysts at HSBC who say the brand is in the midst of a “crisis” following the outcry over its ties to transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Carlos Laboy, a managing director at HSBC’s global beverage sector, downgraded the stock of Anheuser-Busch InBev to a hold status — meaning that investors should neither buy or sell shares of the company. Laboy said that the backlash to the Mulvaney branding partnership is a sign that there are “deeper problems than ABI admits,” according to a note that was first reported by CNBC. “Is ABI’s leadership getting the brand culture transformation right? It’s mixed,” Laboy wrote in a note that was published on Wednesday. “At Ambev, we think the answer is ‘yes;’ in the US, we think it’s ‘no’,” Laboy wrote. “The way this Bud Light crisis came about a month ago, management’s response to it and the loss of unprecedented volume and brand relevance raises many questions.” “Why did its US leadership underestimate the risk of pushback given the recent experience of other firms?” Laboy wrote. “Is A-B hiring the best people to grow the brands and gauge risk?” Ambev is the Brazilian beer brewer which is also owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. InBev was an independent company that was created as a result of the 2004 merger between Brazil-based Ambev and Belgian firm Interbrew. In 2008, InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch — whose brands include Bud Light, Budweiser, Michelob, Busch, Stella Artois, and Hoegaarden, among others — in a cash deal worth $52 billion. Laboy’s note was written as market data shows that beer drinkers are shunning Bud Light in increasing numbers. Nationwide retail sales of the brand were down 23.4% versus a year ago in the week of April 29 — worse than the 21.4% decline it suffered a week earlier, according to Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ data. The controversy appears to be taking its toll on other brands within the Anheuser-Busch umbrella. The company’s flagship Budweiser brand took an 11.4% sales hit for the week ended April 29. Sales of Bud’s Michelob Ultra brand — the third-biggest-selling in the US behind No. 1 Bud Light and No. 2 Modelo Especial — were down 4.4%, according to Bump Williams data. “It’s not just a Bud Light issue,” said Bump Williams, chief executive of the consultancy. “It’s an Anheuser-Busch portfolio problem now.” Anheuser-Busch InBev shares were down by some 1.9% during Wednesday’s morning session on Wall Street. Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris has downplayed the impact of the backlash, saying Bud Light’s US sales declines in the first three weeks of April represented only 1% of InBev’s global volumes. On April 1, Mulvaney posted a video of herself cracking open a Bud Light on her Instagram page. She showed off a can with her face on it that Bud Light sent her — one of many corporate freebies she gets and shares with her millions of followers. Three days after Mulvaney’s post, Kid Rock posted a video of himself shooting cases of Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch InBev shares temporarily plunged. Within weeks, two marketing executives at the company took a leave of absence. Carlos Laboy, a managing director at HSBC’s global beverage sector, downgraded the stock of Anheuser-Busch InBev to a hold status — meaning that investors should neither buy or sell shares of the company.
Laboy said that the backlash to the Mulvaney branding partnership is a sign that there are “deeper problems than ABI admits,” according to a note that was first reported by CNBC. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: They still don't fucking get it. No, what they NEED to do is to clarify the fact that they made a mistake. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: Anheuser-Busch chief executive, Michel Doukeris has attempted to distance the company from the Mulvaney partnership and told investors during an earnings call last week, "We need to clarify the facts that this was one can, one influencer, one post and not a campaign". They still don't fucking get it. No, what they NEED to do is to clarify the fact that they made a mistake. I wonder exactly how much effort and collaboration it takes to get a can of beer printed with a special image. I'd imagine it's not simple. 1. contact the influencer and pitch the idea. 2. get the legal rights to their image 3. hire graphic artist to create the image. 4. Get automation folks to set the formatting up to print. 5. Halt the line to change the programming to print ONE CAN. 6. ship the can along with others to the influencer. 7. set up photo shoot with pro photographer to get the "one can" perfect image 8. ?????? 9. Profit Makes sense, this totally happened by accident. |
