Name change to “Jill-ette”.
Pankaj Bhalla? P&G couldn’t find an AMERICAN that wanted the job?
As a shareholder of P&G you bet your butt it pisses us off I can tell you that.
Did Nike’s stock hold up after the initial few weeks of Kaepernick? High schoolers and college students alone couldn’t keep their brand afloat, I would think.
Nike’s primary consumers are idiots but Phil Knight was the first to start with outfitting sports teams with free clothes as long as they contained his icon (the swoosh) on them which begat licensing agreements with major sports teams.
Chances are, whatever team you support, they have a licensing deal with Nike, Champion or Adidas. So if you want to support your team with their logo on your clothes, you’re paying into one of these companies. THAT’S their primary way to make money, not with tv ads.
Any business that must advertise in order to achieve maximum profits would be best to stay away from the Nike business model.
The author doesn’t flinch at calling Dollar Club, or whatever it is, “haters,” and labeling Hannity ‘right wing.’ F ‘im.
Unfortunately, the conversations that were provoked were along the lines of "I'll never buy that faggoty SJW brand Gilette ever again!"
Gillette is not an overprice shoe that only blacks and stupid white kids will pay that kind of money.
Just switched to a Schick this weekend. Have never owned anything but Gillette until now. Somehow, I think I’ll miss Gillette even less than I miss the NFL (which isn’t much at all).
Yep - switched to Schick last week and have decided it works just fine - at a 60+% savings
Yes, its an insanely stupid marketing idea, but then again, big companies like P&G are ideological bubbles nearly as much as bureaucracies in government and academia. They believe their own propaganda.
They also are sitting atop very wealthy and, for the time being, successful organizations. So they have arrogance to combine with their ideology.
Its a formula for their eventual destruction.
Woke Leftists still buy sneakers.
Most Pajama Boy Millenial men sport scruffy beards.
P&G shot itself in both feet and the arse here.
I threw all my Nike Clothing and Shoes out. I am only sorry that the Pentagon did not pull it from the AAFES and Navy and Marine Exchanges. I hate seeing soldiers and marines wearing Nike - being a retired paratrooper I would want a Nike wearing partner in a foxhole for starters.

BLOWBACK OVER ‘WE BELIEVE’ AD SUGGESTS GILLETTE IS NO NIKE

We believe Gillette will be filing chapter 11
Pankaj Bhalla? Pankaj Bhalla? Well there’s your problem.
If you go to Gillette’s Facbook page and read the comments under the post containing this ad almost EVERY SINGLE positive comment is from women. The few male commenters are theater production managers, florists and such. Gillette should just make all their razors pink and market them to the pussy hat wearers as pussy razors. Unfortunately the chicks who wear pussy hats don’t have much use for razors.
