   A California marketing firm linked to Bud Light’s disastrous tie-up with   
   trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney has fired several top executives as part   
   of a major restructuring, The Post has learned.   
      
   San Mateo-based Captiv8 — which canned 13 staffers in July after top brass   
   returned from a lavish junket to the French Riviera, as The Post reported   
   — axed 30 employees, roughly 20% of its workforce, in the latest round of   
   layoffs, multiple sources told The Post.   
      
   It’s not clear whether Captiv8’s shakeup, which happened Sept. 28, was a   
   direct result of the Mulvaney fiasco, which led to Bud Light losing its   
   two-decade status as the nation’s top-selling beer.   
      
   “I’m guessing that Dylan Mulvaney contributed,” one laid-off executive   
   told The Post. “They weren’t laying people off before [April 1] .”   
      
   Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch blamed a third-party marketer for sending   
   the transgender influencer a can of of Bud Light featuring an image of   
   Mulvaney, which she touted to her millions of social media followers on   
   April 1.   
      
   While Anheuser-Busch never named the firm, insiders told The Post that it   
   was Captiv8 that introduced the beer giant to Mulvaney.   
      
   Captiv8 CEO Krishna Subramanian, who has never publicly addressed the   
   Mulvaney controversy, told surviving staffers on a companywide Zoom call   
   that the layoffs were necessary because the company is undergoing a   
   “reorganization,” sources said.   
      
   “There were several department heads” who lost their jobs, one source   
   said.   
      
   “All of us have watched Captiv8 spend a lot money on parties,” one fired   
   worker told The Post, adding that “lavish spending has been consistent   
   with this company.”   
      
   Captiv8 declined to comment on the recent round of layoffs. Subramanian   
   did not respond to an email for comment.   
      
   The company had fired 5% of its staff in July — days after attending the   
   ad industry’s Oscar-like annual Cannes Lions International Festival of   
   Creativity.   
      
   Captiv8 had chartered a private jet filled with swag to fly the company’s   
   honchos, clients and influencers to the South of France — posting photos   
   of fancy parties at villas and yachts.   
      
   The company had said the trip was “paid for in tandem with our brand   
   partners and clients, having no impact on the company’s overall bottom   
   line.”   
      
   Subramanian, who was a guest at the White House for a holiday party last   
   Dec. 18, founded Captiv8 eight years ago.   
      
   The company boasts a database of more than 1 million influencers on   
   YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter and counts McDonald’s, Disney,   
   Toyota, Nordstrom, Macy’s and OceanSpray among its clients.
