Bud Light’s name hasn’t just been quenching thirsty folks’ tastebuds lately, its name has been on their lips for a totally different reason!
Anheuser-Busch’s flagship light beer has found itself marred in the murky world of identity politics after receiving significant consumer blowback for a recent cross-promotion with a prominent trans social media influencer on TikTok.
Many traditional Bud Light drinkers have expressed their dismay for this type of marketing, and sales of the beer have consequently suffered greatly.
In this episode of the pod, we will look at the story behind this giant marketing misstep by America’s biggest and arguably most beloved beer label, and the implications it will have on the all-important bottom line.
We’ll also deep dive into the thinking (or lack of) behind this nightmare scenario in three key areas and what you can do to avoid a similar situation happening to your brand. As usual, you can rely on us to construct the bridge between knowledge and execution when it comes to successful marketing in each episode.
