Bud Light VP of marketing wanted to lead inclusivity revolution

Daily Mail  

The Bud Light marketing executive whose team oversaw its disastrous partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney vowed to lead an inclusivity revolution at the brand and ditch its 'fratty' image. Alissa Heinerscheid, the brand's newly tapped vice president of marketing, shared her new vision for Bud Light late last month, and has since been met with pushback from customers The backlash was amplified on April 3 when it was announced 26-year-old transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney would be working with Bud Light's marketing division Heinerscheid has not commented on the scandal. Since taking the gig in July, Heinerscheid has already rolled out several adverts as part of a push to empower women - one of which features a dancing Miles Teller and his wife This desire was felt in a February commercial titled 'The Bud Light Carry,' which saw a female protagonist, after buying her friends a round of beer, successfully bring the glasses to her friends without spilling a drop Prior to her current role, Heinerscheid worked as an associate brand manager for Listerine, and afterwards headed Bud Light's parent Anheuser-Busch's inhouse agency for seven months. In the turmoil that ensued, Bud Light's parent company and Heinerscheid's former employer, Anheuser-Busch, issued a statement saying it supported the brand's decision to work with Mulvaney, whose videos follow her journey.
