Dylan Mulvaney’s Payment for Bud Light Deal Leaked with Marketing Team’s Call – Report
Dylan Mulvaney’s Payment for Bud Light Deal Leaked with Marketing Team’s Call – Report
Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, reportedly paid a “transgender” social media influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, a six-figure sum to promote their product. However, this marketing move backfired, resulting in billions of dollars in losses for the company.
Conservative podcaster Steven Crowder revealed a leaked conference call from June, where AB InBev marketing executives expressed panic over the growing boycott of Bud Light. The company had misled the public about the amount Mulvaney was paid for his social media post.
Mulvaney, who identifies as female, posted a photo and video of himself drinking a can of Bud Light, claiming that the company had created a special can with his face on it to celebrate his “year of being a woman.” This marketing gimmick led to an immediate boycott and significant financial losses for Anheuser-Busch.
Despite the company’s initial claim that the partnership with Mulvaney was not formal and only involved one can of beer, a leaked call and financial disclosure revealed that Bud Light had paid Mulvaney $185,000.
The leaked call also exposed the CEO of Capitv8, the marketing company behind the partnership, instructing employees not to speak to the media. This revelation further highlighted the company’s attempts to cover up the disastrous marketing campaign.
As a result of the controversy, AB InBev’s U.S. chief marketing officer, Benoit Garbe, announced his resignation. The company’s reputation and financial stability have been severely impacted by the Mulvaney debacle.

A jury has found in favor of Dylan Mulvaney, the influencer who was paid a six-figure sum by Anheuser-Busch for a promotional deal with Bud Light. Mulvaney had filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming breach of contract and defamation. The jury awarded him $500,000 in damages.
Mulvaney’s case centered around the leaked conference call, where AB InBev executives expressed panic over the growing boycott of Bud Light. The company had initially misled the public about the amount Mulvaney was paid for his social media post, leading to the backlash and significant financial losses for Anheuser-Busch.
In his lawsuit, Mulvaney argued that the leaked call and the company’s attempt to cover up the true payment amount had damaged his reputation and harmed his career. The jury agreed, finding the company liable for breach of contract and defamation.
The jury’s verdict sends a strong message to companies about the importance of transparency and honesty in marketing campaigns. Consumers expect truthful information when making purchasing decisions, and companies that deceive the public can face severe consequences.
While the jury’s award of $500,000 may provide some vindication for Mulvaney, it cannot undo the financial losses and reputational damage he suffered as a result of the botched marketing campaign. Anheuser-Busch will also need to reassess its marketing strategies and regain the trust of consumers in order to recover from this setback.
As for Mulvaney, the verdict may serve as a lesson in the risks and rewards of influencer partnerships. While such deals can be lucrative, they also come with the potential for public scrutiny and backlash. It is essential for influencers and companies to carefully consider the potential consequences and ensure that partnerships are based on authenticity and transparency.
This case also highlights the power of social media and the ability of influencers to shape public opinion. As consumers become increasingly aware of paid endorsements and influencer marketing tactics, companies must navigate this landscape with caution and integrity.
Ultimately, the Dylan Mulvaney-Anheuser-Busch case serves as a cautionary tale for both brands and influencers. Effective marketing campaigns require honesty, transparency, and an understanding of the values and expectations of consumers. Only then can companies hope to build lasting connections with their target audience and avoid the costly mistakes made by Anheuser-Busch in this instance.
As the marketing and advertising landscape continues to evolve, companies must adapt and prioritize ethics and authenticity. Influencers, on the other hand, must choose their partnerships carefully, maintaining a balance between financial gain and maintaining their credibility and reputation.
