Does the political climate affect advertising at all? Are there different types of ads in less polarized times?

The push for diversity is nonexistent now since Trump took office. That’s the biggest change I’ve seen, and it’s BS when our target audiences are multicultural or historically marginalized groups that are now branded as “woke” for merely existing.

Definitely. Politics affects advertising through uncertainty. When things feel unstable, brands get more cautious, spend tightens, timelines shrink, and risk tolerance drops. In health and pharma, the effect is even more direct. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shaping public skepticism around vaccines, scrutiny is higher and clients are far more careful about what they say and how boldly they say it.

Some companies have very quietly abandoned DEI initiatives or identity-based employee support groups, especially if they needed to get a merger or acquisition approved

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

Thanks all
