Hi - non brand / creative type here. What’s the big deal or issue with this? This appeals to me as a consumer in that I’d rather see corporate social responsibility as a means to create brand loyalty instead of increased product differentiation or clever marketing logos / whacky characters. I’d rather 10 million dollars be spent donating to a good cause that resonates with my values rather than a clever ad campaign. All else equal, hearing things like this increase my brand loyalty where now I may think twice at the store about the next bag of chips I buy. While I normally wouldn’t care, just grab whatever for the party, I now may self select into the frito lay chips.

Is it that this comes across as pretentious? I don’t get it.

“It’s not about brands...”, but it is about rethinking frivolous consumption (I’m looking at you Frito-Lay).

This whole situation should be a wake up call that so many people’s livelihoods depend on frivolous (wasteful?) overconsumption in a world where many people don’t have enough and where finite resources are being put towards frivolous ends.

Similarly as someone not in the industry, how does the agency/in-house angle apply to this ad?

So I finished my 3rd interview with a company and the TA specialist said they loved me but can’t meet me at my bottom line salary, however, I said I can negotiate and she said she’s going to speak with the decision makers and see if they’re okay with that. What does this mean? This is for a marketing specialist role. I’m asking for $70K bottom line

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.

Hi everyone! Idk if I need advice or I’m venting but I’ve been looking for jobs actively right now and want to make a switch soon. There’s a gap in terms or compensation for the jobs I’m being approached for. These jobs offer the same compensation I’m at or slightly higher (5-7%). This is demotivating and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t make an awful lot (105K in NYC) and I’m looking for a 20-30% bump in terms of compensation. Am I crazy here?
