The controversy surrounding Kanye West and his endorsements and collaboration with various brands like Gap and Adidas is very current and popular in main stream media. To answer your second discussion question I think it is important and necessary for a PR professional to thoroughly research a company or clients history. This is because a company or clients beliefs might not align with yourself or your brands or they could be in hot warm with certain demographics or groups of people. For example, the chicken fast food restaurant Chick-Fil-A has been known to donate large sums of money to various politicians that do not support same sex marriage and endorse old, traditional southern standards. If you were to partner with his company you should be aware that they are not progressive of inclusive in this way because they are not supported those of the LGBTQ+ community. ]]> 2022-12-10 00:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416131439 madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416132441 Hi grou two, great presentation and research! I agree with other classmates that supermodel Kendall Jenner did not have adequate timing in her response. The global giant Pepsi was quick in their response, they released a statement and took responsibility. On the other hand, Jenner waited until almost a year later to make any public statement on the advertisement. This was not helpful because instead of seeming progressive, she only brought new life to crisis and brought the issues back on the table. ]]> 2022-12-10 00:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416132441 madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416133586 Hi team three, great work! To answer your first question, I think that the silence from Victoria Secret was more destructive that it was effective. Their silence only allowed for the media to control the narrative. This created an environment of distrust between the global giant and its publics. There was no transparency between the two and it did not seem like Victoria Secret cared about their models or their consumers. ]]> 2022-12-10 00:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416133586 madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416135578 Hi team four, great presentation and slide show! If I were a follower or consumer of Kendall Jenner and 818 Tequila I think the issues raised in this case would change my perception of the brand. The company and the model choose strategic inaction in their crisis management tactics which was not effective. If I was a consumer and heard about the culture appropriation claims with no word from 818 Tequila or Jenner, it would definitely put doubt in my head or lead me to believe that they had done something wrong. It is important for a brand to communication with its publics throughout a crisis or in general. ]]> 2022-12-10 00:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416135578 madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416145094 Hi team six, great work on your final presentation and slide show! I think there is great opportunity in this case for Zendaya. She could use this crisis as an opportunity to promote cultural awareness and education of various backgrounds. The more information that is circulating about inclusivity and culture, the more knowledge individuals will have. This will promote engagement and help to combat stereotyping and making rash assumptions about a group of people. Zendaya is a popular figure in our society with a large platform. She could use this as leverage to speak up and promote change. ]]> 2022-12-10 01:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2416145094 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423513215 Hello Team 1! Since racism, issues like hate speech or women’s rights are particularly very controversial at the moment, I would first make sure that the celebrity was not previously involved in anything like this in a negative light. I think it is important to thoroughly research a company or client’s history so you know what they value and you can see if they also value things that you personally value. It will make your job easier. I think that Kanye will have a lot of trouble becoming a billionaire again, but it could happen. He still has fans that are loyal to him no matter what, and it is hard for a celebrity to be completely canceled forever.]]> 2022-12-17 04:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423513215 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423513860 Hello Team 2! I think that Pepsi could have been more personal in their apology, rather than having a short statement. They should have been more proactive in researching how certain things can be taken in different ways. While I do think Kendall Jenner could have spoken out more  and taken some responsibility, sometimes its better to stay out of something that people aren’t entirely blaming you for.]]> 2022-12-17 04:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423513860 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423514730 Hello Team 3! I think silence is always the route that companies tend to take but they should not. It makes people speculate more and alter the story to be something possibly worse than what happened. Yes, a remorseful stance is always more personable and makes the brand seem more apologetic. Victoria Secret can show them that they care about their models in some way.]]> 2022-12-17 04:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423514730 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423515480 Hello Team 4! They should have been more apologetic and done something to show that they are working on researching cultures better. I think whenever a brand is involved in a situation or scandal, I am never able to forget about the scandal associated with the brand or celebrity. I think 818 Tequila was successful in their rebranding.]]> 2022-12-17 04:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423515480 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423516226 Hello Team 5! They could post more advertisements with models with all body types as well as have a body positivity event, or something to do with people posting on social media. I think this is something that is really big right now and has been for a couple of years, so the timing is ideal. I would communicate that no one is perfect and that everyone has beautiful flaws.]]> 2022-12-17 04:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Original_Case_Studies_Fall22/wish/2423516226
