Bud Light DEI Woman: “We want the brand to feel lighter and brighter”
In a recent tweet that caught widespread attention, the Bud Light DEI woman stated, “We want the brand to feel lighter and brighter.” This phrase has become a focal point in discussions about brand identity and values. The emphasis on making a brand feel more accessible and fresh often raises questions about what traditional values may be sidelined in the process.
