Kim Whitler: The Budweiser Case - A Look at How Not to Manage Socio-Political Issues

Jan 15, 2024
32:53

A CMO Confidential Interview with Kim Whittler, business professor at the University of Virginia and former GM and CMO. Kim joins us for the third time to discuss the recently published UVA case on Budweiser and the series of things that went wrong. Key topics include the chronologic unfolding of events and how a podcast recorded well before the Dylan Mulvaney social media post ended up putting gasoline on the fire, why the impact was underestimated, and how Bud's crisis response messages did even more damage. Key topics include the need to understand both sides of all issues, how to stay true to your brand, and the difference between personal beliefs and customer beliefs. Listen in to hear tips for thinking through and managing in these challenging times.
