Off the Court get in here right now

The brand’s controversial marketing collaboration, which ignited fierce reaction on social media, has apparently led to a dip in Bud Light store sales by an astonishing 26% in the week ending April 22, according to research by industry newsletter Beer Business Daily.

Down 26% bro. Do you still think this was a "brilliant marketing strategy" as you previously stated?? :lol

[Off the Court]

Yes you made the same comments about the NFL dipping in ratings after all the kneeling but now the NFL is at all time highs. It's like the kneeling never happened. And this incident will be forgotten even faster than that, probably by next month. And in the mean time we've all firmly implanted "bud light" into our brains.

Thanks for making this thread for me to bump next year while laughing at you.

So you didn't answer the question. You deflected onto a different topic as you usually do. Do you still think this was a brilliant marketing strategy, yes or no? And if you think it is, explain how. Explain how being down 26% is considered a brilliant marketing strategy in your eyes.

The NFL and Bud Light are two different things. There is no competition to the NFL. There is no other option to the NFL. There are a million beers someone else can drink. You still haven't provided concrete evidence as to what makes you think this was a brilliant marketing strategy for Anheuser-Busch. All you did was compare this to the NFL and that's not even an equal comparison.

What will bring people back to Bud Light? Explain that. Explain how losing 26% of market share revenue is a brilliant strategy in your eyes? You have not explained that and you cannot explain it. You are simply putting up a fight against the Bud Light backlash because you are a Leftist.

I did explain you just can't grasp it. This will be forgotten sooner than later and through it all has repeatedly hammered "Bud Light" into all of our heads.

"All publicity is good publicity"

"There is no such thing as bad publicity"

Remember when that one pedoish movie was going to be the end of Netflix? You forgot all about that and now you watch Netflix every night. It's forgotten, old news, just like this will be.

I mean are you literally under the belief that this is the end of Budweiser? :oldlol:

Putting words in my mouth and moving the goal posts as usual. Max, my warped ideology-totin' friend, there is a reason why Anheuser-Busch is backing away from this ad. There is a reason why they fired the woman responsible for that ad. No one is saying this is the end of Budweiser. You said that. No one is implying that. You may outsmart the others on this board with your smoke and mirrors deflection that Liberals do so well, but you will never fool me. There is no positive spin you can put on this, and especially not with the "all publicity is good publicity" excuse.

Will people forget about this in 10 years? Probably. But as sales go back up to previous levels in 10 years, you can't consider that a win. You have to focus on Sales today, Sales right now, not ten years from now. And right now sales are down 26% and there is no spin you can put on this to say that this was a brilliant marketing strategy. This was an EPIC failure of monumental proportions.

And Netflix is hemorrhaging viewers left and right. This was never about putting these companies out of business. No one has said that or implied that. Only you have brought that up. But you cannot say that Netflix is doing better since that movie was put out and you certainly cannot say Budweiser is doing better since that ad was put out. Just take the L and move on.

Another thing you are clearly overlooking here is that Bud Light is just one brand under Anheuser Busch.

Anheuser Busch didn't lose 26% of it's sales, Bud Light did which is just a fraction of their business.

In fact Anheuser Bush just reported earnings:
https://www.brewbound.com/news/anheuser-busch-inbev-q1-2023-global-revenue-13-2-us-shipments-1-6-depletions-3-ceo-discusses-bud-light-backlash/


Anheuser-Busch InBev (A-B) reported a +13.2% increase in total revenue and a +0.9% increase in total volume worldwide for the first quarter of 2023.

:roll:

What a thread backfire

[Patrick Chewing]

And as is expected, Off the Court (aka Maxfly) will try to put a positive spin on things to suit his narrative. I am not overlooking Anheuser-Busch as I have mentioned them several times in this thread.

And if Anheuser-Busch is reporting a profit, well, that's great. But imagine their profits had they not come out with that ad? Do you see now what I'm talking about? Do you understand now what I'm saying? Just because they're still reporting a profit doesn't mean that ad wasn't one of the biggest mistakes a company has ever made. Your ego and pride are so immense that you can't even admit that ad was a failure despite the enormous losses they are reporting per that one brand alone. It's like you're denying reality. Why are you doing this?

People will eventually forget about this and people will become more accepting of the trans community with time. Remember liberal California voters didn't want gay marriage in their state a mere 15 years ago(thanks to 55% of Latinos and 70+% of blacks voting against it).

Still it doesn't hurt to know your consumer base. You won't see Trader Joes, Whole Foods or anti frizz hair cream marketing to hillbillies and rednecks. Although I fully admit this is an extreme reaction by conservative/traditional people over a stupid can that wasn't even made for the public.

This is a fair take although I do think that Bud Light's demographic is much larger than just hillbillies and rednecks. Today's young people are already there. Schools are significantly less homophobic than schools in Chewing's generation. Perspectives can change drastically in just 15 years time you're correct.

We're both Millennials you dingbat. It has nothing to do with being homophobic. It has to do with not believing the lie that men can become women and vice versa. We don't want that agenda shoved in our faces either and then be labeled homophobic or transphobic when we don't agree with it. Homosexuality is as old and as common as time. But this trans shit of actually removing your genitalia is new and it's sick and perverse and it has now reached our children. So to sit back there and to say "oh people will get used to it".....yeah no ****ing way man. All that mutilation and wanting to be something you're not is a mental illness that's being disguised as healthcare. And Liberals like you just support that shit 100% and run with it, not realizing how wrong and immoral it truly is.

No, watch the video again. She clearly states "why are we affirming the mental confusion of this boy...". So it's more than just a bathroom thing. She does clearly not accept the lie that men can become women because it then takes the attention away from real women's issues.

[Patrick Chewing]

And the thing I can't fathom about Liberals is this "oh let people do what they want and be what they want" mentality as you all look the other way. That is not sustainable in a society. Taking all religious and spiritual beliefs aside, you need common sense, morality, certain boundaries, order, etc.

They aren't going anywhere so it's pointless to let them trigger you every day. Venting about them on the internet day after day isn't going to make them suddenly disappear, nothing is. Trump can't make them disappear, nothing can. You're stuck with them.

It's fake outrage with you anyway, they aren't sharing a bathroom with you, in fact you've probably never even interacted with a trans individual outside of seeing one in a store somewhere. :oldlol:

Of course in typical Off the Court fashion he dismisses the issue by putting the emphasis on me rather than focusing on the real mental and physical damage this is causing people, especially our children.

And they will not go away so long as people like you encourage this behavior rather than acknowledge it for the mental health issue that it is.

Ten years ago people like you would dismiss us when we would point out the slippery slope we were going down on, and yet here we are with drag queen story hour, biological men beating biological women in sporting events, and doctors mutilating children.

Like, I wonder where someone like you draws the line. You strike me as the type to sit back and watch the world burn so long as it doesn't affect you cause you've used that excuse several times already towards me. You lack morals and common sense.

They own so many labels, and on a global scale too, outside of US commercials. Bud Light being down 25% isn't going to put much of a dent in their earnings which were already trending up.

And then, no different than Netflix, it will all be forgotten and you'll be drinking a Bud Light at the next NBA game you attend. Hopefully I don't forget to bump this thread and laugh but I probably will.

players change... the beer does not.
people will support their home teams.... and say what i said: the players now may not be same as did the kneeling (they are, but people will claim they are not to watch games)

the Beer.... no, that is associated with gayness now.
no man want it.

and even if what you say is true, that the beer sales come back.... what about the billions lost now?
that will never be made up for.

Never again will I spend money on Nike as a woman. To watch a flat chested man prance about wearing a sports bra in an embarrassing ( and quite frankly disgusting ) character of a woman was insulting.

So many prominent female athletes they could have given this opportunity to, instead they give it to man in womanface, who refers to female anatomy as "barbie pouches" and dresses like a 6 year old girl for fun.

And then, when women speak out and tell them how insulted we are, they tell us to be "kind" and "inclusive". Never again

It says they will buy back after the beer has expired. When is that next year? I doubt it happens. And don't they do that anyway with expired beer?

Anyway, Chewing, if the next earnings report shows a loss for Anheuser-Busch year over year, I will own up and declare I was wrong. Because that is all that matters here. Until then I will die on this hill, or more appropriately I will live well on this hill. If AB is still growing as a company then you should declare you were wrong, although I do not think you are capable of that.

BUD stock seems to have pretty normal volatility in the past few months, peaking as high as $66 and as low as $53. Looks like they suffered much worse in 2022 and 2020.

Was the 'scandal' simply using a tran spokesperson? If so, I personally don't give a shit, but they should know their demographic and in that regard it was pretty bad marketing on their part. In terms of the market's faith in them hasn't changed though, people who are outraged by this should band together and Game Stop them. I'm always down to seea corporation get ****ed.

I might be wrong.

I might also be right. They were in the positive last Q and currently their stock is up vs 1 year ago. And if their earnings have increased, we'll see who is moving goal posts then.

But you are wrong already.

That's what I've been talking about right there. AB has so many products that the 25% who stopped drinking BL just traded it in for a different AB product.

Modelo is the new #1. Modelo is owned by AB.

I wouldn't be surprised if many simply traded in their Budlight for Budweiser.

No loss, and all that happened is then pounding BL into our heads over and over.

"If their earnings do down I was right but if they go up it means they could've been even higher so I'm right either way." - You
"If their earnings go up I was right. If their earnings go down I'll concede." - Offthecourt.

I personally don't think it's that simple. Earnings might lag. Their other product lines randomly take off. They might come out ahead. Who knows what happens.

That's what I've been talking about right there. AB has so many products that the 25% who stopped drinking BL just traded it in for a different AB product.

Modelo is the new #1. Modelo is owned by AB.

I wouldn't be surprised if many simply traded in their Budlight for Budweiser.

No loss, and all that happened is then pounding BL into our heads over and over.

Brilliant marketingNot exactly. AB owns the distribution outside of the states, but domestic sales go to someone else; which is the point of the boycott.

I don't see how you think that's moving the goalposts. Off the Court is saying that he'll change his tune if AHB does not record a profit in their most recent quarter as a result of this campaing. But even if they do show a profit, it doesn't mean that this marketing campaign was a success. It only means that had they never ran with this campaign, that their profits would have been that much more. They have lost billions in sales as a result of this marketing campaign. That's irrefutable.

yes, off the cope moving goalposts from bud light sales to the AB conglomerate in whole was pretty much an admission of defeat


bud light was the best selling beer in america until the tranny thing

there’s no amount of intellectual dishonest squirming he can do to change that fact

I don't understand why people are so shocked about sales drop of budlight, I for one don't care if you are gay/trans, but I'll be the first to admit that constantly seeing that type of shit in movies/shows/advertising is disgusting to me, and I'm sure most straight males feel the same, even if they don't want to admit it. And now they are teaching this shit in schools to little kids? What is the agenda here? It's all very weird to me.
Teaching kids LGBTQ exist and deserve equal rights is how you avoid those kids turning into Chewing types. Duh

I have no problem with you being gay. I have a problem if you think I'm going to follow along and believe that men can become women and vice versa. And the most egregious one, that men can get pregnant.

But again, I want to emphasize, if you, RRR3, are a flaming homosexual, then I have no problem with that.

Sales hit their record low? :oldlol: Their sales started at $0 so I guess AB is literally broke now.

We don't know what their sales are until they report earnings. They don't even know what their official sales are yet. We can see their stock is still up on the year, and we can also see that their beer Modelo is the the new #1.

This is the key moment for "go woke go broke"? AB still making profit but "just not as much"? That is your big victory? :oldlol:

When you ban good products like Nike and Netflix and Starbucks you're not harming them, you're harming you.

I have to correct you and challenge you because not everyone else on this board is as in tune with this conversation as you or I since I'm the one that called you out in the first place.


No one on here, not myself included has ever made any mention of AB going broke. A company like AB doesn't go broke. It's impossible at this point just as companies like Apple or Google will never go broke. So, for the people that aren't paying attention to our little argument on a daily basis, I have to correct the record cause you want to change the narrative on here about what we're talking about. It has NEVER been about AB going broke. It has been about calling out a failed campaign because companies want to go Woke and in turn, they see a drop in Sales. Which is what we're seeing. You cannot refute my previous sentence. Companies like AB have sales forecasts that go years and years into the future. So you cannot come back and say that since AB is still recording a profit that it proves you were right and I was wrong. If a company projects 60 billion in sales for a calendar year, but then because they make a blunder as they did with this ad campaign only make a profit 20 billion, then yes, it is considered a loss, a mistake, whatever you want to call it.


So once again, you can fool the others with your circular logic and Liberal word salad, but you will never fool me.

To be clear, if the next earnings report shows growth from one year ago, that means I was right and you were wrong. If profits are down from one year ago, I'll say I was wrong. And maybe I am, we'll see. If I have to own up I'll do that.

This is me being NICE to you. Because we all know that in the long run AB will go on to recapture record highs. I'm allowing you to limit it to just one quarter out of the goodness of my heart.

All it proves is their company is so robust it can weather the storm from their brain dead decision.

Bud Light was literally the best selling beer in america before this

Just because a bunch of people ended up buying modelo instead and the conglomerate is close to a monopoly at this point which owns it as well doesn’t mean it wasn’t a poor and out of touch business strategy

Not going into the red isn’t the same as lost potential profits

You are operating at pure clown level right now which is pretty much par for the course but this is even more egregious then usual.

I’ll say again I hope to god you are merely low effort trolling at this point…if not…yikes. Seek help immediately. Something in your life is causing you to behave this way. Figure it out and do better.

Because the flip side to your coin is that if they report as little as $1 in profit, you're going to sit there and try to convince us again that this marketing strategy worked, when the woman who came up with it has been fired.

That 1% is the entire AB line though, not just Bud Light and the CEO said that back in May before a lot of the recent damage was done. The Bud Light domestic sales is dragging down the entire line.

But at the end of the day these huge conglomerates have so many products under their umbrella, they rarely get hurt with blows like these. InBev loses money with Anheuser Busch, gains it right back with Miller and Modelo. :confusedshrug:

You can thanks the Democrats for that. If you take a look at the biggest corporate mergers in the last 50 years, like 80% of the biggest ones happened when Democrats were in control. These massive global corporations are almost immune to the whims and wants of the public. Image problem? Just pay off an opinion leader. These corporations have a little harder time controlling those on the right though because they tend to be too busy with work and family to care what someone else is trying to force feed them. While the left has an army of celebrities and activists willing to do their bidding and an audience that tends to have less going for them in their lives or are so successful they'll buy in just to feel better about themselves. That is until Trump came along. He polarized and manipulated many on the right, like the best opinion leaders of the left

Pretty much.

Overall sales is all that should matter, and I think at the end of the day any publicity is good publicity, after the dust has settled we all had Bud Light pounded into our brains. The only way we can determine real effect is with numbers, which is what me and Chewing settled on. Otherwise it's just word vs word.

Knowing Off the Court in real life has to be frustrating as hell. Like, I could never have a conversation with this person knowing he's a full on sociopath incapable of admitting he was wrong about something. All he does is find different avenues and escape routes to justify his position as he is doing now by talking about it globally.

So I'm hoping to end this back and forth once and for all by asking him a couple of key and simple questions. How he answers these questions will determine if he was wrong or if he's a sociopath by moving the goal posts again. Noticed how I left out him being right because we all know this isn't the case. So this should be easy for him.


Off the Court:

1. Has the Dylan Mulvaney ad helped increase sales of Bud Light products and directly helped increase the revenue of Anhueser-Busch as a whole?

2. And if you truly believe that it has, how can you show that on a graph?

3. And if the sales of Bud Light products are down 24%, then what is your justification for believing that this was a successful campaign by Anheuser-Busch?


I don't care about global sales because that ad wasn't marketed in Sri Lanka or in the Congo or even in Tuvalu, or anywhere else but here in the United States. I care about the Sales of Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch as a whole here in the United States where that ad was shown. I also want to make you well aware that companies like AB have sales forecasts from quarter to quarter and year to year and no company the size of AB/InBev would consider it a successful ad if one of their brands is down 24% in Sales.

Profits up 5% on the year

:roll:


Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s biggest brewer, on Thursday smashed profit expectations during a quarter that saw a social media-driven boycott of its bestselling Bud Light beer in the U.S.

The Belgium-based Budweiser owner said its second-quarter revenue rose by 7.2% globally, as price hikes offset a 1.4% fall in volumes. The company said organic growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was 5%, above a consensus forecast of 0.4%.
