Molson Coors Boosts Ad-Spending To Capitalize On Bud Light's Decline
Tyler Durden's Photo by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Feb 13, 2024 - 08:00 PM ... Shares of Molson Coors, maker of Coors Light, a top competitor to Bud Light, jumped 4% in premarket trading but gave up all gains in the cash session. Earlier, the company announced earnings that beat average estimates for earnings and net sales. ... To gain market share, Molson Coors increased marketing and administrative spending by 19% in the fourth quarter compared with the same period one year ago. This significant increase was a strategic decision by the management to leverage the declining demand for Bud Light nationwide, which followed Mulvaney's TikTok Bud Light ad in April. Separately, data from Bump Williams Consulting shows Bud Light sales plunged 20% in 2023. For the first four weeks of 2024, sales tumbled 29.4% as the hemorrhaging continued. |

The maker of Bud Light hoped that the Super Bowl might turn things around for the struggling brand. It barely moved the needle. Modelo Especial won the big game with 8.7% of all beer sold in U.S. retail stores in the week before and the week after the Super Bowl, according to an analysis of Nielsen data by consulting firm Bump Williams. Bud Light represented 7.3%. Modelo last May unseated Bud Light as the top-selling U.S. beer by dollar sales, after a Bud Light boycott began in April. Bud Light’s sales still haven’t recovered. The brand’s sales volume was down by 30% in the two-week period ended Feb. 17, compared with the same period a year earlier, Bump Williams said. So much for AB's attempts to schmooze and spend their way out of it this time around. Not even trump and kid rock saying nice things about them helped. They'll never learn or take responsibility for it. |

A growing boycott of Bud Light over its partnership with a transgender influencer has hurt sales at parent group AB InBev. AB InBev, which owns Bud Light, Stella Artois, Budweiser and Corona, said on Thursday that sales to retailers in the US fell by 17.4pc in the last quarter of 2023, which it blamed primarily on the decline of Bud Light. The slump is deeper than the 16.6pc fall seen in the third quarter of last year and means AB InBev has now suffered three consecutive quarters of double-digit percentage sales falls in the US. Formerly the US’s best selling beer brand, Bud Light angered American conservatives last year after a marketing tie-up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April.

At a gathering the other night, among the other beers available were a couple of Bud Lights, but they were said to be "pre-ban" Bud Lights (over a year old). One was still left at the end.

One of the local fire companies has a nice bar/restaurant/social club. They recently had aluminum Bud Light bottles on sale for a dollar.

CNN, reporting from London, says China don't want that tranny beer either
Bud Light boycott likely cost Anheuser-Busch InBev over $1 billion in lost sales London CNN — The world’s largest brewer may have lost as much as $1.4 billion in sales because of the backlash to its brief partnership with a transgender influencer to promote Bud Light beer. Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) reported record revenues for 2023 Thursday but said its “full growth potential was constrained” by its US business, where sales were hurt by a boycott of Bud Light over a sponsored Instagram post with Dylan Mulvaney. In North America, organic revenue, seen as the best measure of operating performance, plunged $1.4 billion last year as beer sales by volume tumbled in the region, primarily due to a decline in Bud Light sales in the United States. Beer makes up the lion’s share of AB InBev’s revenue. Bud Light sales tanked after the company’s partnership with Mulvaney last April sparked an anti-trans backlash and calls for a boycott. A tepid response to the controversy from the company also angered LGBTQ+ advocates. ... Overall sales volumes in China also fell in the fourth quarter, even as sales of premium brands grew in the double digits, AB InBev said. |

Bud Light beer boycott may now have a price tag, as AB InBev notches a $1.4B drop in U.S. sales following transgender influencer row BYPrarthana Prakash ... Now, there’s a price tag on the controversial Bud Light ad spot involving transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. In North America, AB InBev found organic revenue—a proxy for operating performance—slid by $1.4 billion owing to less Bud Light beer sold. To be sure, this geography includes Canada in addition to the U.S. However, the group’s revenue growth remained flat for the year in the former, while Bud Light’s boycott took a toll in the U.S. AB InBev CEO Michel Doukeris said the group’s “growth potential was constrained by the performance of our U.S. business” during an earnings call Thursday. NOW it's a good START. Insult your customers, go woke, have everyone find out about your DEI, and constantly screw up over and over ... instead of realizing you did wrong, fessing up, giving back the protection money, and just trying to treat your customers right ... Get punished. |

View Quote One more evidence (for the list) showing what he really is. The fact that republicans cannot (or will not?) come up with anything better, is also disturbing and thus leading to, again, picking the lesser of two evils also an eye opener. So, no, some things do not "deserve a second chance" because they already made very clear what they are with their first chance. |
