WE LOVE @markpollard! 'Gentlemen of @LinkedIn, do you find yourself drawn to women's opinions? Do you find yourself captivated by the scent of women's brains? Do you find women's points of view magnetic and impossible to not correct?' linkedin.com/posts/markpoll… via @VikkiRossWrites
'You might have correctile dysfunction. It's when you open your mouth, tap on your keyboard, or thumb on your phone immediate and condescending corrections of women's opinions.' @markpollard@LinkedIn linkedin.com/posts/markpoll…
'She says, "I think..." And you say, "You're wrong and here are ten reasons why."
She says, "I disagree." And you say, "You're wrong to disagree and here are ten reasons why."' @markpollard@LinkedIn linkedin.com/posts/markpoll…
'She says, "Let's agree to disagree." And you say, "No, you are so wrong that you should never hold any opinions again. Your opinion license needs revoking." @markpollard@LinkedIn linkedin.com/posts/markpoll…

Re @BurgerKing: years ago I was hired by A Very Big Company to review some advertising they were planning to run targeting women as part of their #DiversityAndInclusion program. I was clear upfront that I was not going to 'rubber stamp' their advertising, and that I would only...
take the job if they agreed to act on whatever I recommended - which they committed to. They showed me the ad. I said to them, I want to see the list of the creatives and crew behind the ad, but even without having seen it, I know this ad was written by white men. (It was.) ...
I knew that because it was a 'clever' ad that those men would have congratulated themselves on. I said to the client, this ad is 'cleverly' dramatizing the problem. (Career obstacles for women.) We live with the problem every day. We don't need the problem hammered home to us. ..
'We write about the brilliance of women in marketing, but top marketer lists are often dominated by men. We speak of how woke we are, then celebrate International Women’s Day by running a campaign proclaiming that women belong in the kitchen.' @JPCastlinmarketingweek.com/burger-king-co…
Every brand marketer, agency leader, ECD needs to read this and learn from it. '“90% of women say in surveys they don’t consider advertising relevant to them, which isn't surprising when it’s made by a male-dominated industry,“ says Cindy Gallop.' @TheDrumthedrum.com/news/2021/03/1…
Women are the target for advertising, because we are the primary purchasers. “Brand marketers must mandate that any agency pitching for, appointed to and working on their business, must have gender-equal leadership,” insists Gallop' @flaming_meaux@TheDrumthedrum.com/news/2021/03/1…
'At every point in the creative, production & distribution process, Gallop argues agencies should be gender-equal...if agencies have a diverse workforce w strong female leadership, you wouldn’t need to rely on regulations, says @BiGuimaraess@mischief_usa' thedrum.com/news/2021/03/1…
"We all watch porn. We don't talk about it. When you force an entire industry into the shadows, you make it a lot easier for bad things to happen, and you make it very difficult for good things to happen." Listen to me and @NickKristof on @NPR@TheTakeawaywnycstudios.org/podcasts/takea…
You end racism in business by hiring, welcoming & promoting Black talent, bc then you PAY Black talent & channel wealth to Black households. This esp needs to happen in #crypto, where wealth needs to spread beyond white men. But: @coinbase@nathanielpoppernytimes.com/2020/11/27/tec…
'Much of @Coinbase’s culture stems from the one around #Bitcoin..which..has attracted a generation of fans known as “#crypto bros.” Many have propagated a brash male-dominated way of life, facing criticism for sowing racism and sexism.' @nathanielpoppernytimes.com/2020/11/27/tec…
Earlier this month I spoke to the women of Chief. The video is for members only, but here are the highlights: Leveling Up In A Man's World chief.com/brief/cindy-ga… I want you to reorientate your view of the system, operate pragmatically within the system, and reinvent the system
Reorientate your view: read @drtcp, who 'argues that we focus quite rightly on the huge number of barriers that are faced by brilliant women, but a far bigger problem is the lack of obstacles for incompetent men. And that is absolutely the issue.' chief.com/brief/cindy-ga…
'The reason women leaders led more effectively through COVID is nothing to do with touchy-feely female 'empathy', but because in order to get to the top, those women have had to go through so much shit. Sexism, racism, bias, sexual harassment.' chief.com/brief/cindy-ga…
