Using a mixed methods case study research approach, we conducted brand manager interviews, 17 consumer interviews, and a survey with n = 296 participants, all of whom were familiar with the non-alcoholic beer brand Birell. Our analysis examined the relationship between demographic variables and the perceptions of political correctness. Our findings indicate a statistically significant correlation between perceived political correctness in advertising and brand image. Furthermore, we observed a negative correlation between political correctness and purchase intention. The results are significant given the variety of consumer social and moral values that exist in Egypt.
