OK folks, hold onto your hats - here we go, with my annual live-tweeting of my reading of @condenast @voguemagazine #SeptemberIssue. What do we think we'll find this year? I'm guessing, what we find every year: #carefullycalibrateddiversity, lack of age/body diversity, appalling waste of celebrities, every ad looking pretty much the same as every other ad. Let's see, shall we? 🙂
Let's start with the cover. Obviously, when @condenast @voguemagazine #SeptemberIssue decided on @blakelively as the cover, they had no idea she would be as much a part of The Discourse as she currently is. Separate to that, I continue to want to see cover women who aren't models or actresses, but powerful real world personalities
Occupying the prime @condenast @voguemagazine #SeptemberIssue inside cover/first DPS slots: @RalphLauren. As I say each year about RL, if you like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing you like. The clothes are unremarkable, and the use of black and white makes them even more so.
Starting my annual live-tweeting of my reading of @condenast@voguemagazine#SeptemberIssue. Predictions: even MORE #CarefullyCalibratedDiversity; ageist fetishization of youth; huge amount of adspend wasted looking like everyone else; nothing's changing in fashion's old world
.@LancomeUSA forked out the $$$ to be the @condenast@voguemagazine inside cover foldout, running the same old Julia Roberts La Vie Est Belle ad they've run for years. What a waste of a huge-impact triple-spread that @LancomeFR could've done something really creative with
'I immediately checked out the site and I literally got goosebumps. @makelovenotporn seemed totally aligned with my ideals and beliefs around adult content in our society: that it should reflect consensual, mutually-enjoyable experiences' @tntannie_russmakelovenotporn.medium.com/coming-to-mlnp…
'@makelovenotporn is going to keep getting bigger and bigger. The investors who won’t invest in this venture are making a huge mistake. If I had the funds, I would jump on an opportunity like this.' From your mouth to investors' ears, @tntannie_russ 😍 makelovenotporn.medium.com/coming-to-mlnp…
Starting my annual ritual of live-tweeting my reading of the @CondeNast@voguemagazine#SeptemberIssue Predictions: even MORE Carefully Calibrated Diversity; ageist fetishization of youth; huge amount of adspend wasted looking like everyone else; the theme #newbeginnings won't be
Separate to the fact the cover is extraordinarily visually non-compelling, why models YET AGAIN, @condenast@voguemagazine? I want to see real world women on your cover, with real world bodies, real world age, real world achievements. Especially Black women #SeptemberIssue
Together with reading @zoescaman's post zoescaman.substack.com/p/mad-men-furi… watch the first 15 minutes of my 2017 @3PercentConf keynote, to understand why everything Zoe cites is the single biggest business issue facing the ad industry (and every other industry) today
In my @3PercentConf 2017 keynote I quoted @rtraister and continued, "Nor can we see the great ads those women would have created, the @cannes_lions they would have won, the agencies they would have started, the ad industry they would have transformed."
Ladies, re-upping this @RachelKrantz@bustle interview with me because you may find it useful. Also, remember that in addition to business and #diversityandinclusion consulting and speaking, I also do personal coaching 🙂 cindy@ifwerantheworld.com bustle.com/articles/12937…
'Consider that when you ask for a raise, you're not just helping yourself — you are also acting on behalf of other women by helping to close the pay gap'..."As women, we don’t get taken seriously until we get taken seriously financially." I talk to @bustlebustle.com/articles/12937…
'Gallop tells @bustle, "Very simply put, if you do not ask for a raise, and if you do not ask for the most money you can possibly make in your job, you will not be valued." @RachelKrantzbustle.com/articles/12937…
