Over at AdAge, there’s a piece titled “33 ad execs predict how Trumps election will impact marketing.” Most of it is the usual shit about brand building etc, etc. However, the one that really stands out is from Cindy Gallop, the kick arse founder and CEO, IfWeRanTheWorld and MakeLoveNotPorn. “Trump returning as U.S. President means that the closed loop of white guys talking to white guys about other white guys at the top of our industry will feel even more emboldened to keep women out of leadership and power while sexually harassing and grabbing them by the p---y wherever and whenever they feel like it, while shutting down even token DEI efforts completely, because those will now actively disadvantage them business-wise, thereby keeping our industry as racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, ableist and ageist as it’s ever been.” Well said Cindi. Too bad no one in management at the vast majority of BDA’s and BDHC’s will take any notice of your wise words.
It's tomorrow!
