Ad firm tied to Bud Light's Dylan Mulvaney fiasco fires top execs in shakeup
2023-10-12
[NYPOST] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, marketing firm linked to Bud Light’s disastrous tie-up with trans influencer Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney
...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested...
has fired several top executives as part of a major restructuring, The Post has learned.

San Mateo-based Captiv8 — which canned 13 staffers in July after top brass returned from a lavish junket to the French Riviera, as The Post reported — axed 30 employees, roughly 20% of its workforce, in the latest round of layoffs, multiple sources told The Post.

It’s not clear whether Captiv8’s shakeup, which happened Sept. 28, was a direct result of the Mulvaney fiasco, which led to Bud Light losing its two-decade status as the nation’s top-selling beer.

"I’m guessing that Dylan Mulvaney contributed," one laid-off executive told The Post. "They weren’t laying people off before [April 1] ."

Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch blamed a third-party marketer for sending the transgender influencer a can of of Bud Light featuring an image of Mulvaney, which she touted to her millions of social media followers on April 1.

As has been said, there are a thousand ad companies who could have put any of a thousand men's....faces....on their April 1st (natch) promo.

Seriously told a bunch of dudes who just got done mudding, hunting, fishing, whatever that if they do not understand this dude acting totally on his meds, then they are just not sophisticated enough for Bud Light.

The politicians telling them all to get back in the field and drink Bud Light was the second finger.

#6  After the Bud Light fiasco, you do have to wonder what business in its right mind would hire Captiv8 to do its marketing.

#5  Question is, did any of the morons involved in the Bud debacle actually get canned, or is this just more "times are tough, we lost business cause we're stupid" stuff?

#4  /\ Certainly did not. Appears they essentially took a woodland dump and fell back in it.
