Aight, well, I skipped Skyward Sword because honestly it looked like ass and I had no interest in a Zelda game that ripped out the overworld. But a BotW sequel: fuggit i'm there. Cries of SJWs didn't stop me from buying Witcher 3 or MGSV. It's almost as if they are, at most, an annoyance. Link to post Share on other sites

Voidler 1,675 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I’ve worked in marketing for 5 years. The industry is full of millennial hacks with zero creativity and zero understanding of how to effectively brand and what the actual goal of their work is. They don’t understand demographics or their customer values. Instead they impose their own personal values on the advertising. Who does this appeal to? Gillette’s entire base are men who shave regardless of political agenda. If I was the brand manager for Gillette I would have laughed this idea out of the room and I say that as a leftist. Even if there is some research that women buy a lot of Gillette products for men, do you really want your brand recall to be “ad about sexual assaults = Gillette” when people are shopping Thats not to mention brands piggybacking social movements NEVER plays well.

See the Pepsi commercial last year Not entirely true. Pepsi screwed the pooch because of how they approached the subject. It was tone-deaf. Nike, on the other hand, hired Kaepernick and that ad cost them in the short term, then grew their base in the long term: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/321130 Link to post Share on other sites

See the Pepsi commercial last year The mistake here is that Gillette ads, like most shaving ads, have a history of being shallow and silly. Usually involving fighter jet planes to advertise their Mach 3 razor, or some futuristic laboratory where they invent the next space-age razor, and there's a female lady in a lab coat who is eyeing the cleanly-shaven scientist guy. All of a sudden, Gillette wants to be all heavy like Nike? Somebody was taking their long-time slogan-- "The Best a Man Can Get"-- way too seriously. No one pays that much attention to those commercials, and now they are going to pay attention in a whole other way. Link to post Share on other sites
