I’m looking for examples where you felt uncomfortable in dealing with the marketing, branding, or customer service with a brand. This could include things like greenwashing, not standing up to hate (cough cough Target), or anything that made you say ‘that’s messed up.’ Reply here or send me a msg.

Have You Ever Been Triggered by a Brand’s Marketing? Ideally a Brand You Love. Pls DM me with examples! 1️⃣ Yes, and I stopped giving them business 2️⃣ Yes, but I ignored it 3️⃣ Yes, I reached out and gave feedback 4️⃣ No, what’s a trigger? 📊 Show results

Working on book project 2 and specifically looking for examples where a company’s marketing made you uncomfortable or triggered. It can be creative, overall campaign theme, something you received in the mail, or even an interaction with customer service that didn’t sit well. LMK via reply or dm.
