But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.

good news, everyone!

Advertisers Say They Do Not Plan to Return to X After Musk’s Comments

quote:

Advertisers said on Thursday that they did not plan to reopen their wallets anytime soon with X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter, after its owner, Elon Musk, insulted brands using an expletive and told them not to spend on the platform.

At least half a dozen marketing agencies said the brands they represent were standing firm against advertising on X, while others said they had advised advertisers to stop posting anything on the platform. Some temporary spending pauses that advertisers have enacted in recent weeks against X are likely to turn into permanent freezes, they added, with Mr. Musk’s comments giving them no incentive to return.

Advertisers are “not coming back” to X, said Lou Paskalis, the founder and chief executive of AJL Advisory, a marketing consultancy. “There is no advertising value that would offset the reputational risk of going back on the platform.”


...


Ruben Schreurs, the chief strategy officer at Ebiquity, a marketing and media consulting firm, said Ms. Yaccarino appeared to be trying to get brands to stand with X’s views on free speech. But advertisers were unlikely to step in to sponsor the social media platform’s goals, he said.

“It doesn’t resonate at all,” he said, adding that the spending pauses seemed to be “turning into a termination of advertising on X.” Short of a leadership change or a change in control at the company, he added, advertisers were unlikely to consider returning to the platform.

Other marketers are recommending that brands abandon X altogether. Tom Hespos, a longtime media planning executive who runs a consulting firm, Abydos Media, and works with clients in health care and other industries with up to $50 million media budgets, said that he gave his first formal recommendation to a client on Thursday that they not only stop spending on X but back away from posting there.

“You can’t with a good conscience make a recommendation to a client that they continue to be a part of” what Mr. Musk has done on X, Mr. Hespos said.


...

Mr. Musk’s dismissiveness of advertiser concerns has caused brands to view him as a risky partner, said Steve Boehler, the founder of the marketing management consultancy Mercer Island Group.

Mr. Musk’s “comments suggest an outrageous amount of uncertainty regarding his platform, how he will partner with advertisers and whether he even cares about what advertisers think,” said Mr. Boehler, who works with clients who spend $10 million to $500 million on advertising annually. “This is also personal,” he added. “Businesses are simply full of people, and people like to be treated well, respected and dealt with with dignity.”

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
