AB InBev's studio head is out, the latest marketing shakeup at the Anheuser-Busch parent company following the Bud Light fiasco .
The company put seasoned AB InBev marketer Lauren Denowitz in charge as global studio head while enlisting help from Oscar-winning Michael Sugar's production company, Sugar23, and branded entertainment guru Jae Goodman .
Bud Light faced months of conservative-led protests and falling sales over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The Anheuser-Busch controversy started in April when the company sent Mulvaney a personalized Bud Light can for a March Madness contest.
The fallout has dragged down US performance for two quarters in a row, even as AB InBev beat expectations in the most recent quarter.
