View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn a recent Make Yourself At Home episode, Alissa Gordon seemingly addressed the backlash the brand had garnered. She announced that they do not wish to be a brand that represents “fratty and out of touch humor” and focus on “inclusivity” instead. Gordon said:“I had this super clear mandate. It’s like we need to evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand. What does evolve and elevate mean? It means inclusivity… it means having a campaign hat’s truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different. And appeals to women and to men. And representation, isn’t it the heart of evolution? We had this hangover. I mean, Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty out of touch humor and it was really important that we had another approach.”Old Row@OldRowOfficialAlissa Heinerscheid, Bud Light’s VP of Marketing, doubles down on her extreme woke strategy to promote the “declining” American beer brand to “young people”, while smearing her former customers as “fratty and out of touch”.
