So what's the deal with the Betsy Ross thing? It's clearly a guerrilla marketing thing timed with the 4th of July but I can't figure out how Nike benefits, because no one actually thinks the Betsy Ross flag is racist.

I do now. To spite people who explicitly align their consumption habits with marketing campaign. The most racist flag ever. Put a swastika on it - would only make it less racist.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Everyone keeps asking me if they can gently caress the sneaker

the betsy ross flag, like most important parts of an early nation's history, has since been co-opted by neo-nazis. in this case, the 3%er movement

idk that's why woke capitalist kaepernick called them up or whether he has more wokeness than sense, but regardless, he's been a tremendous disappointment

I think in a couple years this will be the case, but as of right now there's a gold rush and if you can bullshit "keeping the brand intact" you can make 6 figures

it's just an extension of marketing and PR, often done by the same people who are churning out all the more formal copy, and if you can't sell a corporate exec on the idea they need a highly paid specialist to precision craft their tweets you're a loving terrible marketer

The social media supervisors make high five figgies but they're mostly just dictating a brand Bible, the actual posting is handled by people making 30-40k and if a brand engages with you apropos of nothing it's absolutely on of those poor saps and if Tony the Tiger ever replies to you on Twitter you should immediately address the actual human behind the account and start bombarding them with union materials

there was a guy who ran the twitter account for the Vegas Golden Knights NHL team, and he made a post on LinkedIn outlining his decision to leave his job. i forgot what it said but it wasn't "i'm so monstrously unfunny that our Twitter presence is an embarrassment even by the very low standards of NHL Twitter accounts." it should have been though because hooooooo-wee he made some terrible tweets

i blame the Los Angeles Kings and Denny's for making brand twitter the monster that it is today

yes?

Why would THIS be the breaking point where a corp starts caring about workers' wellbeing? I figured they'd be drones under the actually paid marketing execs
