Former Levi’s President on Bud Light Going ‘Woke”

Author, Filmmaker, Speaker, Business Executive, Corporate Consultant Jennifer Sey,who left her position as Lev’s Global Brand President in 2022, says Bud Light is in a difficult position after “prioritizing ideology over product’ in the wake of the company’s partnership trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, a relationship that has alienated both left and right beer fans who have now abandoned the once #1 bestselling beer.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, the former Levi’s exec warned that American brands with “big, broad reach” like Bud Light should “think long and hard” before embracing controversial stances and doing what she refers to as “reputation laundering.”

“Unfortunately, I think for Bud Light, there is now no way out but through… They could have apologized in the beginning to their loyal fans. They did not. And now they’ve just angered both sides and their business continues to suffer. I think they’re certainly scratching their heads about what to do but honestly for them at this point, I think there’s no way out, but they have to wait it out. There’s no way out but through.”

“Companies have taken these stances to curry favor with consumers. And what they’ve learned very quickly is there’s a large portion of consumers that are saying, ‘Yeah, no. I don’t believe in that. I’m gonna take my business elsewhere.’”
