Going woke doesn’t work for everyone in business. Increasingly, it seems to be the dragon slayer in corporate America as brands start questioning the efficacy of alienating half of the country. Anheuser-Busch is learning that lesson and spreading the love to their embattled former Bud Light Marketing VP, Alissa Heinerscheid.
After the frat-hating executive put transvestite Dylan Mulvaney on the icon cans, the backlash has been devastating. Now, she has been put on a leave of absence and replaced by a senior VP. 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.
Heinerscheid did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
The brewer has also streamlined its marketing function to reduce layers “so that our most senior marketers are more closely connected to every aspect of our brand’s activities,” a company spokesperson said in a statement, adding that “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.”
The Post Millennial reported:
In an interview on the Make Yourself At Home podcast from March 23rd, Heinerscheid revealed that the brand was in decline and they needed to “attract young drinkers… then there will be no Bud Light,” which led to the controversial partnership with trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney.
Heinerscheid also recently suggested that the brand she represents should distance itself from its “fratty” past, despite having participated in frat culture herself as a young woman.
Don’t say it… don’t say it… fine, I’ll say it. Get woke, go broke. Ugh. I hate the phrase because it’s become so cliché it has lost all meaning but it has never fit more perfectly than with Bud Light.
What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Because a leave of absence is just like fired. It’s actually too late for Bud to do anything. The problem is much deeper than this VP who is merely a manifestation of a culture that would employ her to begin with. It’s the culture that must be destroyed!
