Youre the one claiming you know for certain young people hate it because you've observed (with no data to back it up) that young people hated the ad. I didn't claim anything. You of all people should know that ad testing often comes back entirely different from what you personally observed. I didn't say young people loved it or hated it. I said I don't know. I'm not talking out of my ass because I didn't say the ad worked or didn't work. You did. |

This kind of stuff exists in the management structure of nearly every major corporation in America. The only difference is that they aren't building advertising campaigns out of it. YET. |

And yes, young customers for the razor category are significantly more valuable than older customers. Not just a little. A lot. It's simple customer lifetime value and switching costs. That's not talking out my ass. That's simple economics. No company values losing customers, but acquiring 1 young customer is probably worth losing a few older ones in the razor category. Not that that's even much of a risk, since brand loyal customers are far less likely to leave, even if they hate an ad like this. |

Not to go off topic, but there are some service providers (cable, mobile, and the like) that don't work too hard to retain customers. Not all of them but some of them. A lot of them don't mind moderate churn because they make just as much money losing a customer for 2 years and then signing them up again after they leave the competition as they do just trying to keep them.

I don't see that. P&G is a brand machine. They don't do anything without a shitload of testing. There's tons of business logic for going after a millennial target. Purchasing razors is much less price sensitive than many typical OTC categories (just read brand loyalty is something like 36%). It's a reason Gillette has been gouging customers for years with crazy margins. Young customers are big-time customer targets for Gillette, and they're getting picked off left and right by online shave clubs. To me, this felt like an idea that made strategic sense, but the execution was way too cheesy... which maybe has something to do with your second point. |

He's an entitled political worm, but he's not wrong on this. There are tons of holes in that ad.

Yes. And it is bad specifically because they are NOT men-related issues. Females bully. Females sexually harass. Gillette makes shaving products for women as well as men, yet did their commercial target them as well? No, it targets the terrible misconception that these issues arise solely from masculinity. I, for one, am going to keep being toxically masculine using my straight razor to shave instead of their expensive and crappy products.
