Bud Light Dumps ‘Woke’ Marketing VP Behind Dylan Mulvaney Campaign

Anheuser-Busch InBev has dumped the “woke” marketing executive responsible for the self-destructive Bud Light campaign featuring transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

As Slay News previously reported, the campaign was led by Bud Light’s Vice President of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid.

Video emerged of Heinerscheid trashing Bud Light’s customer base and vowing to make the brand “truly inclusive.”

The campaign led to a massive boycott of Bud Light across the country with several billions of dollars being wiped from the company’s value.

A company spokesperson also said the conglomerate streamlined its ranks to reduce layers “so that our most senior marketers are more closely connected to every aspect of our brand’s activities.

“These steps will help us maintain focus on the things we do best: brewing great beer for all consumers, while always making a positive impact in our communities and on our country.

“We communicated some next steps with our internal teams and wholesaler partners, we made it clear that the safety and welfare of our employees and our partners is our top priority.”

According to Adage: “Alissa Heinerscheid, marketing VP for the brand since June 2022, has taken a leave of absence, the brewer confirmed, and will be replaced by Todd Allen, who was most recently global marketing VP for Budweiser.

“Alissa Heinerscheid, who has led the brand since June, takes leave of absence and is replaced by Budweiser global marketing VP Todd Allen.”

The Daily Wire reported earlier that “no one at the senior level” at Anheuser Busch was involved in the disastrous marketing campaign with transgender Mulvaney and Bud Light.

“No one at a senior level was aware this was happening,” a source told the media outlet.

“Some low-level marketing staffer who helps manage the hundreds of influencer engagements they do must have thought it was no big deal.

“Obviously it was, and it’s a shame because they have a well-earned reputation for just being America’s beer — not a political company.

“It was a mistake.”

Shortly before the campaign dropped, Heinerscheid said: “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.’

“To evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand we need inclusivity, it means shifting the tone, it means having a campaign that’s truly inclusive, and feels lighter and brighter and different, and appeals to women and to men.

“Representation is sort of at the heart of evolution, you have got to see people who reflect you in the work.

“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,” she said.
