It&#8217;s tough because what we do is all about bringing people together,&#8221; Marcondes said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At this stage, it is impossible to predict whether consumers will believe Marcondes and give Bud Light another chance. The most we can do is consider whether the marketing executive&#8217;s words reflect a lesson learned.<\/p>\n<p>Trite phrases such as &#8220;controversial and divisive&#8221; and &#8220;bringing people together&#8221; are apt to strike the reader as the sort of empty words that might originate with an establishment candidate&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-a-baby-sleep-training-expert-was-doxxed-and-boycotted-because-she-donated-to-trump\/\" title=\"WALSH: A Baby Sleep Training Expert Was Doxxed And Boycotted Because She Donated To Trump\">political campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Marcondes&#8217;s ensuing comments, however, do leave room for optimism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;In times like this, when things get divisive and controversial so easily, I think it&#8217;s an important wake-up call to all of us marketers first of all to be very humble. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing, being very humble, and really reminding ourselves of what we should do best every day, which is to really understand our consumers,&#8221; Marcondes added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Those two elements \u2014 humility and reconnecting with consumers \u2014 constitute the core of Bud Light&#8217;s future plans, according to Marcondes.<\/p>\n<p>The marketing executive&#8217;s call to humility cannot help but appeal to consumers who are fed up with woke moralizing.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, one wonders if Marcondes, when speaking of the need for humility, had in mind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/photos-reporters-capture-disgraced-bud-light-exec-first-time-since-woke-marketing-failure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alissa Heinerscheid<\/a>, Bud Light&#8217;s former vice president of marketing and the person most responsible for the disastrous Mulvaney partnership.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Heinersheid was more a symbol of a problem than its actual source.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, marketing programs and Western universities in general churn out legions of Alissa Heinerscheids.<\/p>\n<p>They preach, scold and virtue-signal \u2014 all in the name of fine-sounding lies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/scaros-equity-enemy-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diversity, equity and inclusion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The real problem for consumers, therefore, is not whether Marcondes is telling the truth. On the face of it, there is no reason to doubt his sincerity.<\/p>\n<p>The real problem is that the Mulvaney campaign showed the extent to which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/target-takes-wokeness-step-now-company-also-accused-pushing-satanic-gear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wokeness<\/a> has become institutionalized in corporate America.<\/p>\n<p>Forgiveness is a central Christian tenet, so it can never be discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it is possible that consumers who liked drinking Bud Light will simply choose to give the company another chance.<\/p>\n<p>Even if they do, however, they likely will remain alert to the larger problem of institutional wokeness.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/anheuser-busch-chief-marketing-officer-says-bud-light-coming-back-reveals-next-plans\/\">Anheuser-Busch Chief Marketing Officer Says &#8216;Bud Light Is Coming Back&#8217; &#8211; Reveals Next Plans<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A company executive claims Bud Light marketers have learned their lesson, but consumer trust is uncertain.
