Ad agency that tapped Dylan Mulvaney for Bud Light in 'serious panic mode': source
[NYPOST] An eight-year-old marketing firm out of the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
was responsible for Bud Light’s partnership with Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney
...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested...
— and the disastrous tie-up sent the firm into "serious panic mode," The Post has learned.

Captiv8,
...such a clever name...
a San Mateo Calif.-based firm that pairs social-media influencers with major consumer brands,
...all of which are eager for the latest cutting edge marketing tool, no matter how stupid...
is the outfit that introduced Anheuser-Busch to the 26-year-old transgender actress — resulting in a viral TikTok video that has since become a textbook case of marketing gone wrong, sources close to the situation said.

Nationwide backlash over the video — which unleashed a firestorm when it was posted April 1, showing Mulvaney holding a Bud Light can while taking a bubble bath
...pretending to be a fake girl in real bubbles, appealing to no one in particular — though he has definitely mastered period costume and make-up...
— sparked anxiety and confusion inside Captiv8’s offices during the initial days of the controversy, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

"There was a lot of chatter" among employees about what blowback the firm might face over the botched campaign, according to the source.

#1 TikTok is not America. It may be 'urban' but its not America.

#9 /\ oh please oh please NEVER POST that hideous face fronted by blue beer again. I wholeheartedly agree with #5, #6, and number #7. Have mercy!

I have found a local pico-brewery that makes a mushy blueberry beer, I bought all 4 that she had.

#11 Patience, gentlemen. At the rate things are going, Mr. Mulvaney’s fifteen minutes of fame will soon be over. And I, for one, intend to enjoy every minute of his slide into oblivion.

#13 I had a Rantapalooza here in March of 213. Lots of friends who are not Rantburgers showed up as well as Alaska Paul, Dave D, Brer Rabbit, and 49 Pan. Some of my female friends told me they drank Bud Light so I bought 2 12 packs. Only a few were consumed. I had forgotten about the Bud Light on the bottom shelf of my liquor cabinet until 3 of them blew open. Now I don't know what to do with the rest. Target practice with my AR-15?
