BLOWBACK OVER 'WE BELIEVE' AD SUGGESTS GILLETTE IS NO NIKE

As another poster pointed out, it couldn’t have been that great for Nike if they didn’t do more ads with Kaepernick since then.

You called it. From what I understand, Nike reported higher overseas and "less than full retail price" sales in their financial statements. They've also expanded on-line as they work hard to gloss over the backlash.

Best Marketing campaign for Schick ever!!!!!

But how did they get Gillette to do it?

“P&G Brand Director Pankaj Bhalla tells Ad Age its goal was to provoke conversation,“

ANY Marketing person who says something this stupid should be fired on the spot. Your goal is to sell razors, you fricking idiot.
