Maybe with global powerhouses (British) Unilever and (US) Verizon finally taking a stand against the hate crime and fake news on Facebook, Tik Tok, Twitter and withdrawing their advertising we are beginning to see that big global brands are taking the lead. Unilever (b in 1929) company values are Integrity, Respect, Responsibility and Pioneering. Last week they lived their values sending a clear message to their employees, their investors, the creative agencies that work for them and most importantly to their consumers that enough is enough. Once global advertising brands that have the muscle, the money and frankly the power decide to stand up & vote with their $/£ the whole eco system that circles their sun will fall into line behind them. Agencies, recruiters… the whole supply chain.
