    The only think softer than that ad campaign is thinking it cost them billions.

    This thread is a case study in stupidity. Gillette probably lost money on their ill advised "feminism" campaign. But anyone who thinks that played anything more than a negligible role in an $8B goodwill impairment is financially illiterate.

    This is the most pub we've ever given a @DJDuck post, and we should all be ashamed.

    Look at Scotty the stupid fucking Kunt give this an up arrow when he started this thread claiming that Gillette is doing great.

    Their shitty campaign played a role in them losing sales. How big? I don't know but something tells me that if they could ask for a do over on that Ad Campaign they'd do it.

    Funny how someone just knows the reasons for a financial loss without any evidence. Maybe you can predict the Presidential Race. I’m not eluding to the fact this is the only reason but it sure greased the skids at least. You don’t know anything more than I do or the man on the street. I will bet that anyone talking about this at least references this Einstein.

    Gillette is facing a lot of competition. Insulting your customers is not smart.

    The reason they ran this add is because they thought it would appeal to millennials.

    So basically they thought it would increase their sales but there was no thought that it would decrease sale like some of the know it alls here.😂😂

    The evidence for their write down is right in the earnings announcement...or as Deej would label it "without any evidence." The skids were greased in 2011 when dollar shave club and then later Harry's came in and undercut them losing a ton of money in the process in order to acquire market share along with the shaving market shrinking overall by 11%.

    Wow, it's almost as if a parent company can't being doing well despite one under-performing area of their entire business.

    CEO Nadella will unveil new tablets Tuesday, but can he stop the bleeding?



    What's it like being a mouthy dumbfuck Scott?

    “While competition against upstart razor companies such as Harry’s and Dollar Shave Club have contributed to the decline of the more traditional Gillette, it cannot be ignored that the company’s embracing of more controversial and “progressive” stance in their recent ad campaigns was also a factor.”
