Bud Light partners with iconic US company to regain customers.
Budweiser and Harley-Davidson Team Up for a Laughable Ad
Amid a two-month boycott of AB InBev products following Bud Light’s disastrous decision to partner with a transgender social media influencer, Budweiser has teamed up with Harley-Davidson for a new ad. But the ad is laughably out of touch and is likely to make sane people want to avoid Harleys more than to elicit them to purchase anything from Transheuser-Busch.

The ad features an ultra-manly voiceover artist who says, “The greatest legacies are built with grit and resilience — one detail at a time.” After introducing a limited edition Harley logo on a can of Budweiser, the voiceover artist concludes, “For those who give everything to their craft, this Bud’s for you.”
But the ad was panned on Twitter after it was seen for what it is: a patronizing display of desperate corporate arrogance.

Amid a shrinking market cap and declining sales, Budweiser’s parent company AB InBev is getting desperate. The company refuses to address the Mulvaney controversy but has tried to pander to conservatives through recent ads. However, conservative beer drinkers who are finished with the Belgian brewer are smarter than the company thinks they are.
Everyone who has walked away understands that this is the new face of the formerly great and formerly American brewer:

AB InBev can issue as many pandering ads as it wants that gloss over the elephant in the room. It is clear that the company’s only shot at bringing back customers roiled by its gender activism is an apology.
