"Gillette's new ad campaign invoking the #MeToo movement is the latest test of how big consumer brands can navigate social movements to appeal to millennials without turning off customers who don't agree with their message or don't believe it is well-executed.

The nearly two-minute ad from Procter & Gamble Co.'s Gillette tries to tackle sexual harassment, bullying and "toxic" masculinity. "Is this the best a man can get?" the ad released online Monday asks.

The ad, which plays on the tagline Gillette has used for three decades, "The Best A Man Can Get," has been viewed about 17 million times on YouTube. Reaction has been divided: with 833,000 dislikes on YouTube and 421,000 likes as of Thursday morning.

In the first three days of the ad's release, there have been more than 1.6 million mentions of Gillette on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as blogs, forums and news sites, according to data from Brandwatch, a social-media monitoring company. Tuesday had the most mentions with more than 893,000, above Gillette's daily average of about 1,300 mentions for the previous 25 days.

The sentiment around the ad started mostly positive on Monday (62%) and turned more negative by Wednesday (54%), Brandwatch found. The discussion was split 50/50 between men and women.

Actor James Woods and talk-show host Piers Morgan have lashed out against Gillette on Twitter over the ad and vowed not to use the products again. The two were among the most-mentioned Twitter accounts surrounding the controversy as they received support from like-minded Twitter users and became the targets of contention from users who approved of Gillette's ad, Brandwatch found.

"Gillette was trying to make noise, but the ad was disjointed and it didn't make sense" for male consumers, said Ronn Torossian, chief executive of 5W Public Relations. "It was including a lot of messages and it was all over the place."

In response to criticism, a P&G spokesman said the ad "is much more than a video -- it is a commitment to spark and contribute to positive change through our voice as an advertiser and our actions as a brand and a company." He said P&G has partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of America and will donate $3 million over the next three years toward its programs.

Some Twitter users who were upset about the ad showed photos or videos of themselves throwing their Gillette razors in trash cans or tearing them apart, using hashtags like #BoycottGillette and #GilletteFail. Others have posted photos of their growing beards in a sign of protest.

"Things like boycotts generally are not long-lasting," Mr. Torossian said. "This will have very little effect on their bottom line."

The controversy comes as Gillette, which accounts for more than half of the U.S. men's razor business, competes for market share with Edgewell Personal Care Co.'s Schick and upstarts like Harry's, Unilever N.V.'s Dollar Shave Club and other smaller brands. The hair-removal category in the U.S., which includes blades and razors for men and women, is a $4 billion market, according to Nielsen data.

P&G, one of the world's biggest marketers, is among the companies that in recent years have used advertising to promote stances on social issues, such as gender equality, immigration and gun control. The 181-year-old company has been lauded for its "Like a Girl" ad campaign for feminine-care brand Always and "Stress Test" for deodorant brand Secret. Last year, the company won an Emmy award for "The Talk," which shows African-American parents discussing racism with their children.

"P&G learned to make their stale brands more present, they have to take risks," said Michael Priem, founder and CEO of Minneapolis-based AdTech Modern Impact.

Nike Inc.'s ad campaign featuring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who had led player protests for racial justice during pregame national anthem ceremonies, generated both praise and boycott threats when it debuted last September.

Nike appeared to weather any backlash from the effort, which was part of the 30th anniversary of the footwear giant's "Just Do It" campaign. The company last month reported sales rose 10% in the latest quarter, driven by growth in both shoes and apparel.

UPDATE: P&G's Gillette ad asks men to shave their 'toxic masculinity' and a big backlash ensues

By Rachel Koning Beals

Ad is pegged to #MeToo harassment movement

A 30-year-old tag line selling Gillette razors to men is having its own #MeToo moment, and some of its whiskered target audience and the women behind them are outraged that a big consumer brand stepped outside of grooming.

There's little that bristles men, and many women, like trying to define manhood. That's just the off-the-news waves that Procter & Gamble Co.(PG) was aiming for, its marketing executives said, even while acknowledging the risks of navigating social movements.

The Gillette brand that claims it's "The Best A Man Can Get" this week launched a campaign around the sexual harassment movement, and with the idea of "toxic masculinity" already in the zeitgeist, the ad got plenty of response. Most came in a Twitter uproar and pledged product boycott (

I do the shopping in my family. Thank you for posting this. I already have stopped buying Kellogg brand cereals but I wasn’t aware of the rest. I don’t even care if it’s BOGO, on sale, etc. it’s insignificant but I still believe in the nuclear family

), though included some observers -- of all genders -- saying the timing is right.

(

)

The ad, created by the brand's agency Grey and titled "We Believe," opens with audio of news about the #MeToo movement, bullying and uses the hot-button phrase "toxic masculinity." A narrator goes on to dispute the notion that "boys will be boys," asking, "Is this the best a man can get? Is it? We can't hide from it. It has been going on far too long. We can't laugh it off, making the same old excuses."

"The video is sad and depressing while putting ALL men in a bad light," one Twitter user wrote. "Men aren't just waking up to bad things that are going on. There have always been good men. Bad ones too, yes, but the same can be said about women."

Women also responded:

(

Okay, this #Gillette ad is a little bit schmaltzy and overwrought, but the replies from men who are clearly angry, fragile, and terrified of being criticised or losing their right to live in the past, are proof of how much we need campaigns like this. https://t.co/fSXJkjSgB1

If @Gillette really want to make a change perhaps they could start by looking at their pink ‘Venus’ range for women that includes names like Passion and Embrace and costs more than the men’s ranges for the same thing. Thanks.

There is no such thing as toxic masculinity.

Other brands went for the counter play.

Gillette is part of the anti-male SJW movement. Any men who are sick of this can come right on over to us at Bawdy Barber, where we understand how men work and don't try to change them into women.

P&G said it has no plans to pull the spot in the face of some negative reaction, The Wall Street Journal reported. "We recognize it's sparking a lot of passionate dialogue -- at the same time, it's getting people to stop and think about what it means to be our best selves, which is the point of the spot," said Pankaj Bhalla, Gillette brand director for North America.

P&G shares were up slightly early Tuesday. The stock is down about 0.8% so far in January, but up over 1% for the past year.

[downandoutthanksd]

yip! time to short da sh!t outta dis.

[YanksGhost]

P&G has lost its mind with the new Gillette advertising debacle: "The Best a Girlie-Man Can Get". This will not resonate well with men except those few that shave their legs and cross dress.

Next thing you know, P&G will change the naming rites for Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to: The Pussywhipped Eunich Pigs Arena?

How dumb can a company get? Evidently, VERY DUMB.

Procter & Gamble Co $PG Nearing Gap Fill

Procter & Gamble Co (PG) continues to push higher as shorts cover and money flows to safer, high-dividend plays. With a move from under $71, Procter & Gamble hovers above $77.50. However, investors should be aware of a major gap fill resistance level coming into play at $78.20. Once hit, expect Procter & Gamble to pull back to $75.50 as consolidation takes hold. Only then should investors think about buying the stock for the next leg up.

Procter & Gamble Co $PG Nearing Swing Trade Buy Support

Shares of Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE: PG) continue to fall lower after poor quarterly results. The stock is now nearing major support at $70.00 from a high of over $90 in early January 2018. This epic fall is overdone and due for a major technical bounce. There is a major support trend line that can be found by connecting the lows going back to 2011 (note the chart below). Big money is looking to accumulate in the $70 range for a trade back to $75-$80. Valuation is also extremely attractive at the $70 level. It is rare to get a blue chip company at such a steep discount to where it traded just a couple months ago.

Procter & Gamble Co Technical Buy Level

Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) fell sharply after reporting earnings that missed expectations. The company said their growth was only 2%, which in this market and economy is poor. Investors sold the stock, knocking it down over 3% on the day. Assuming this market stays strong, a major buy level will be at $86.50, based on connecting the recent lows on the stock using a trend line. Note the chart below. This will be a major swing trade bounce opportunity for investors.

Believe It Or Not, Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) Is Looking Attractive

This stock has been declining sharply since topping out on September 20th, 2017 at $94.67 a share. Today, PG stock is declining lower by $1.11 to $87.14 a share. Traders and investors should now watch the $86.50 level for support on the daily chart. This level is where the stock was defended in July 2017. Often, when a stock retests a major sponsorship area if will react positively. Short term swing traders should look for a bounce around this level.

While Markets Tank This Consumer Goods Stock Looks Attractive

Today, all of the major stock indexes are falling sharply lower on the back of an uncertain political picture. As you all know, the Trump presidency has been surrounded by turmoil since day one, but today the markets are talking as the S&P 500 Index declines by more than 1.00 percent. Either way, when there is market uncertainty this makes the personal product stocks such as Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) look attractive.

Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) stock topped out in March around $92.00 a share. Since that time, the stock has been pulling back and is now trading at $86.24 a share. Traders and investors should note that the $84.35 level looks very attractive on the charts. This is an area where the stock broke out in January 2016. Often, past breakout levels will be defended by the institutional money when retested. The stock should have upside potential to the $90.00 level. Traders can simply put a stop loss below the $82.40 level on a weekly chart basis.

Any else see AH trading last few sessions. What is going on? 2.4 million is extremely high.

[melz09]

I keep thinking PG will someday break out but todays price action is very discouraging. Dow heads up 100 points off the low and PG is stuck in neutral. Probably time to head elsewhere.

[Prosper/high]

Looking Good

[melz09]

Heavy manipulation going on here last 2 weeks. I think another activist is quietly loading up. Anyone else notice the 500k blocks going off at close or after hours last few days. Anytime stock gets on a run, they drive the price right back down. Shaking the loose hands out. I'm sticking with pg to see if I'm correct.
