Former Anheuser Exec: They've Blown Their Chance to Salvage Bud Light

Anson Frericks, a former president of operations for Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch, told Fox Business that the brand is having difficulty winning back consumers because Anheuser-Busch has not asked the customers “to come back to them.”

“They haven’t done a good job of climbing out of this ditch at all,” Frericks said. “You still have sales that are down 30% week over week, and that’s despite them last summer spending three times their planned marketing budget on Bud Light.”

All they needed to do was apologize, in a clear and specific manner. And that wouldn't be so much for the Dylan Mulvaney can but for the public remarks by marketing exec Alissa Heinerscheid that insulted Bud Light drinkers for enjoying Bud Light's previous "fratty" advertising. They couldn't bring themselves to apologize, and that's why their customers don't like or trust them any longer. It's not rocket science.
