Anheuser-Busch points the finger
-
Blames and fires their marketing agency for the Mulvaney stuff.
It’s a little silly since AB would have to approve any ad and any sponsorship agreement.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Now, what message does this send to other businesses?
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

I will probably never understand what the top level management understands, but what I do understand, the top level management never understands. I can easily believe the top level management never knew of this single beer can created in Mulvaney's image.
Education is extremely important.

@Mik said in Anheuser-Busch points the finger:
If that's the case, it's plausible deniability.
They hired some ideologically captured and culturally relevant people, and trusted them to do their jobs. I can totally see this detail getting missed. It's plausible.

A lifetime ago, I was involved with an organization that decided it was going to take a stand one of those 3rd rail issues. They worded their support in a way that they thought the world at large would accept. I was responsible for membership and was asked what impact I thought it would have on membership. I said, "we'll likely lose between 3,000 and 10,000 members." A 3,000 member loss would be about a million dollars. They went ahead with the policy and immediately lost 3,000 members. I was actually pleased that it was only 3,000 members. BUT - being geniuses, they were SHOCKED!! And consequently, they decided to retract the policy - meaning that they now would lose more members who actually supported the policy.
If you run someone over, have the courtesy not to back over the body.

555 Very wise (and very true) words. I agree.

That's the move, though. That's just how they do it.

It's working perfectly. They don't fire the agency to make customers come back. They fire the agency so that C-levels have scapegoats. And agencies know full well that's part of their job, this shit is just how they do things.

At what point do the C-levels start to sweat?

Eh, depends. Some of 'em might just jump ship.
Those folks move around quite a bit.The ones committed, though, are probably sweating plenty. I'm just saying the agency firing is standard practice and I doubt they were expecting it'd turn around their numbers.

And while the stock had recouped the drop a month ago, it’s fallen off a cliff this week.
