I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
@no_thanks1234: Rosy Nola, Tessa Lena, and Chelsea Crowell showed better adskills with what they did, than the current campaign. They created shareable social media posts in a time when the topic of sexual harassment is piping hot, using timing and connections to get the word out. There's now been more press about Boxer leaving the C3 than there was about the campaign. It may seem to outsiders as if the C3 is an organisation made up of assholes and big egos - and your comment here rather cements this branding. This is obviously a PR nightmare for a group that only wanted to good. So it's only natural that you'd try and deflect from the issue at hand, by being irritated with my review of the campaign on Adland.
Now as for the ads. Either you don't understand that copying a concept (even when you call it a parody) is a hack thing to do, much like when creating soundalikes of music, or you simply don't value creative ideas outside of your skillset. Neither one of these things is a good look for C3 as they claim to be fighting for creators rights. According to Billboard, the campaign was part of "a significant ad buy" on Youtube which strikes me as really ironic. You actually used your fundraised money to pay the piper who steals your livelihood?
Additionally, from the BBC who report that Mars, Lidl, Adidas, Deutsche Bank, Cadbury and others have pulled all advertisements from YouTube now.
The BBC was alerted to the scale of the problem by volunteer members of YouTube's Trusted Flagger programme who alert the site to potential violations of its guidelines.
Trusted Flaggers who talked to the BBC said there could be up to 100,000 active predatory accounts on the site, all of which were able to survive because the system to report them did not work well.
YouTube has responded to the twin investigations by shutting accounts used to make predatory comments and by turning off comments on thousands of videos.
The ad suspensions come only days after YouTube unveiled new measures that were supposed to limit the spread of sexualised and violent content.
In what magical city do these people live where it looks like Brooklyn but a kid can ride a bike around the whole place alone, carrying an expensive gadget that they don't get robbed of or forget on the counter of a deli?
I'll bet you cold hard cash that the person who wrote this has no kids, but vivid false memories of their own free roaming childhood in the early 90s, which is what this looks like - helmet and all (us seventies kids had no helmets)
It's possible that this a generational thing, but the "I'll be working from home today because I have a very heavy period" email really grated me. At one point in time, the idea that women would use that kind of excuse to stay at home literally kept us out of certain jobs. I dislike that this ad encourages that.
And before anyone gets mad at me for asking y'all to put your big girl pants on; I have endometriosis, I have had surgery three times and been in ambulances too. I know what a truly heavy period is.
Last years effort from the same brand, Libresse "Blood" which showed a Joan of Arc and many sports is a much better ad, imo. The soundtrack on that is great, and the point well delivered.
They also put their statement out on Twitter;
