So, this article caught my eye because it’s about something that’s pretty near and dear to my heart: beer. Apparently, the CEO of Anheuser-Busch, Michel Doukeris, is backtracking on his previous defense of the company’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, the mastermind behind the Bud Light ad campaign.
Basically, Mulvaney had been really controversial lately because of past tweets that some people found offensive. Anheuser-Busch had initially defended their partnership with him, but now Doukeris is saying that they “missed the mark” by not thoroughly vetting him.
As someone who’s always on the hunt for new and interesting beers, I find this whole situation kind of amusing. But on a more serious note, it’s important to think about the impact that companies have on society and the values they promote. Even if it’s just beer (or in this case, beer advertising), it’s worth considering what kind of message we’re sending and supporting as consumers.
Overall, the article is a reminder that even big companies can make mistakes, and it’s up to us to hold them accountable. And of course, to keep enjoying good beer while we’re at it.
