Here’s why I’m shaming them. And to my knowledge, George Tannenbaum does not “run” their channels. They took this quote out of context, from a well written and apt piece, only to make George seem like the tone deaf one.
This isn’t the first time their channels have gotten it wrong or made people face palm. RGA has taken swipes at them, their own employees snicker about how disconnected the posts are, which often come in heavy-handed onslaughts. It’s all yikes.
Shame on the hysterical idiots taking offense
Is the word around Ogilvy that George meant knitting as in writing? Also why are you shaming whoever runs Ogilvy's social... isn't it George?
What happened?

Or maybe use regular words instead of buzzwords. If I told you “forget about getting onto a 40 under 40 and stick to spewing shit out of your mouth,” at the moment, would you be offended or think “oh I’m being told to stick to what I’m good at!” It’s all about wording and context.
I understand the idiom defense, but why did he single out women in particular? Where was this quote cherry picked from?

Ogilvy should just stop
