I just saw the note at the bottom right. How did they not see anything wrong in this? A razor (cosmetic) brand putting a full fucking front page ad on such a topic is just awful.

That line is the only thing that completely destroys this entire ad what could have otherwise passed off as a decent tribute.

I was just drafting the same post. What a horrible take by this razor wala man.  
  
 This stunt will ruin her reputation more than people trolling her on Instagram.

What's with this guy and controversies SMH

Every post he writes on LinkedIn lowers the bar.

Software Engineer

Jerks off every day to McKinsey and obviously he's blind by now.

Senior Product Manager

I understood the reference but don't find it offensive 🤐 what am I missing

At the bottom right, they're promoting their product. It's shameful to misuse such an incident.

Software Developer

Wasn't offensive till the main ad copy. But the sub copy brings the focus back to her facial hair and also talks about their razor which makes it salesy and ridiculous!  
  
 This ad shouldn't have happened in the first place and making use of an opportunity where a child was getting trolled for her facial hair. This is cheap and opportunistic. It's like when a group of people are beating the child, this ad too in the name of supporting her joins the group and beats her furthermore.

Consultant

The copy got what it wanted. Hate and attention.

Recruiter

He is the same guy who once told that employees must work 18hra a day!!

Worst ad in IPL

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Zepto Bumrah vs Cyclone ad starkly contrasts with the campaign’s other efforts, which have been witty, innovative, and engaging. 

In a misdelivery in an otherwise spot-on campaign, the Zepto Bumrah vs Cyclone ad, while aiming to highlight the speed of Zepto’s delivery service, overlooked a crucial aspect – the sensitivity required when referencing natural disasters. This metaphor is tone-deaf, especially considering India’s traumatic history with cyclones.

Did anyone else have similar thoughts during the world Cup ad breaks?

Shamelessly plugging my post where you can see the ad instead of just the ad - https://talesofss.com/zepto-bumrah-vs-cyclone-ad-is-rushed/

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

This is the worst behaviour by an educational institution. What are they even trying to convey via this ad.

Why is CRED spending so much on Ads ? Do they really need it ?

Last ad you see before you lose all your money

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

1. They are f**king everywhere and way too many ads.
2. They give shitty logic to lure people into their shitty courses.
3. Any experienced developer watching their ads knows they are creating fomo out of nothing.

Do people featuring in the Scaler ads know that everyone hates their faces/voice ?

using a girl's trolling for their marketing 🤦

Why stoop so low ?

So, club Mahindra in their ad claims dads with club Mahindra membership are the best. 

how is this not a problematic ad? You’re targeting children and forcing them to demand club Mahindra memberships from their dad ? Else they are not best papa? My gosh what a pathetic ad. 

How is their brand team okay with it.

Showing 3 ads every 10 mins to users who have paid for subscriptions is silly and stupid. They are running out of ideas and happy to see Hotstar content moving to JioCinemas. Put an end to this nonsense

A speacial place in hell for Hotstar

Product Designer

Just saw this ad from growth school io. Don’t know what “communicate like a mck consultant” even means. 

Fun fact, check the LinkedIn of the mentor. She wasn’t even a McK consultant and instead worked as research analyst. 🤦‍♂️

Why do these companies create courses like these? And who buys them??!

These ads are getting out of hand

So recently stoa announced that they’re revamping their business. And for some reason everyone (other startup founders/ twitter folks) were supporting them and telling them not to get discouraged and to keep building and other shit. 

I’ve interacted with a few stoa students and they have nothing good to say about stoa. Apparently they were promised placements which no one got. 

Most of the people I know who did the stoa program, did it because they were sold the idea of getting a good consulting / founders office kinda job. The fees aren’t cheap for anyone coming from a middle class background. 

What pisses me off is why are we as a society encouraging such founders - like they sold something without being able to deliver which had a direct impact on the life of students. 

In my personal humble opinion these people need to be called out.

Stoa vent

Founder’s Office

Anyone here think that the number of random sales calls have increased in the last few months ? Lately I’m being bombarded with random unsolicited calls mostly with pre-recorded messages.

Anyone know any solutions to stop receiving these calls - DnD doesn’t seem to be working

Excessive Ad’s

Product Manager

Brand people, Marketing and advertising people, what do you think the reason is ? 

Will there be any next Piyush Pandey?

They don’t make good advertisements anymore.

I have a website that clocks 10,000 monthly page views. What are the best ways to monetize?

Is $100 possible?
