Things like this blow my mind. How many execs signed off on this? Somebody or a few folks must have gotten fired of this. However, I’m gonna guess that it wasn’t anyone who approved this campaign. Lisa Weser? Really Weser? How fitting, tried to do some damage control with this tweet.
@Adweek It’s clear that this message missed the mark, and we regret it. We would never condone disrespectful or irresponsible behavior.
