Well, Well, Well... Bud Light's Marketing VP Turns Out to Be a Total Hypocrite
2023-04-12
[PJMedia] It’s not been a good couple of weeks for Anheuser-Busch, which made the ill-advised decision to partner with Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light. Mulvaney may have millions of followers on TikTok, but a good brand ambassador for beer, he is not. Backlash was swift, boycotts were launched, and Anheuser-Busch has since lost billions in market value.

A debacle like this ought to result in someone getting fired. This would most likely be Bud Light’s VP of Marketing, Alissa Heinerscheid, who, just before Bud Light’s partnership with Mulvaney went viral, had said she wanted to refresh the company’s “fratty” image and “out-of-touch” humor by promoting “inclusivity.”

“I’m a businesswoman. I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light,” Heinerscheid said in a late March episode of the Make Yourself at Home podcast. “It was this brand is in decline. It’s been in 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.”

“It means having a campaign that’s truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different and appeals to women and to men,” Heinerscheid continued. “And representation is sort of at the heart of evolution — you got to see people who reflect you in the work. And 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.”

Well, clearly, that approach failed. But it gets worse. It turns out that Heinerscheid is a total hypocrite. It turns out that she was all about that “fratty” culture she lamented, according to photos leaked from her social media.

A source gave screenshots from her Facebook page to the Daily Caller, and in an album titled “Isis Senior Reverse Initiation Scavenger Hunt” there were pictures of Heinerscheid and others drinking and holding condoms up to their mouths. A Harvard Crimson article referred to the club as a “haven of inebriated ditzes.”

It’s no surprise that Alissa Heinerscheid acted “fratty” during her college days. But what this also tells us is that she knows exactly who Bud Light’s customers are. She chose to ignore them in favor of making a statement and pandering to the transgender cult.

#3  She probably resents frat boys because they wouldn't give here the time of day even when drunk.

With that horse face, I wouldn't either.
