That advertising campaign was a desperate attempt from a struggling brand to maintain relevance, and attract Millennials and women. They wouldn't have expected the level of backlash that it created, but continuing to do the same thing wasn't helping them anyway.

Total MB USA sales were down 6% in 2018, despite the overall new car sales market being up slightly from 2017. Their most popular model was the GLC (40% growth in sales YoY). If the US market is like elsewhere in the West, sedans are becoming less popular as people shift to mid-size SUV's (and I guess trucks for men?). As with Gillette, this ad is probably designed to appeal to a category of buyers where they think there might be growth opportunities (basically everyone who isn't a hetero male).

And let's be honest - the people on this website who are considering a Merc are probably buying an AMG model for performance reasons. This ad isn't for us.
why, in a desperate leap of faith in response to declining sales, do none of these companies ever try making a right instead with these ads, especially after witnessing what happened to their fellow corporate overlords when they took a left turn onto cuck avenue? It's becoming really hard to think that the only motive in these ads is profit

Sent them a quick message through their Portland dealership website. Doesn't take long, online form. Expressed how I'm not against that community, but they didn't mention a single thing about their cars and it was 100% virtue signaling and I don't give my business to companies like that.

Yes, there is an agenda, amazes there are people still stupid enough not to see what is right there in front of them.

They need to keep this garbage out of their commercials, it's so blatantly agenda pushing. You're exactly right, there was nothing about their cars in that commercial, could only make it halfway through though before I felt like vomiting.

I'm from Portland and that is probably one of top segments targeted by this ad lol. I wouldn't be surprised if Wieden and Kennedy cooked this one up.

honestly, at some point you just have to live with the world being like this. Sucks but it is what it is.

Watch a sport? Have a favourite team? Guaranteed they have done something like this. Wanna buy another brand instead? Guaranteed they have or likely will do some shyt like this in a decade.

In 10-20 years, every company will be equivalent to a leftist breeding ground. It's frustrating cause you can't just give up on everything cause at that point you'd just be living in the woods off of survival instincts. I used to like the Leafs a lot, like a die hard fan, but ever since they released this video:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5VjMCwpVd4

I became much less of a fan which really sucked but allowed me to focus on my life more and start excelling in school. Not to derail the thread but a ridiculous video filled with generalisations, virtue signalling, and only looking at things from one perspective and nothing to do with hockey. Let's just completely look over and ignore the fact that most domestic violence is perpetuated by women, and more specifically, Lesbian relationships have the highest percentage of domestic abuse. Let's just focus on how evil and terrible men can be and how you are a knight in shining armour. This coming from a guy, Brendan Shannahan, that slept with and even married his own teammate's wife, yea real man of quality right there.

Life sucks when you care about politics, even if that means caring a lot about not being politically involved like me. Indifference is the best route, sadly.

Feel the same way brah, srs. There are a lot of interests that I used to have that I have just discarded because of **** like this, I absolutely refuse to support any of it and remove support as much as I can. You made a good point about discarding this crap to focus on more important things, which is basically the same route I have taken. It also saves a lot of money, once things go sour, it's time to skip town. I don't think I will ever come back around to Mercedes, definitely not Gillette either. These companies stand for absolutely nothing anymore...save for two things, profit, that's a given and serving as platforms to push agendas and brainwashing.

Sheit is weird as f*ck.

If there is no agenda then I guess it’s just maybe a case of being disconnected from reality?
I'm not sure if it's an "agenda". Remember all those kids that went to college and got brainwashed? Yeah, they're graduating now and getting into marketing etc.

All of this can be explained through the facade of corporate culture. Within the corporate environment you are not allowed to voice your opinion unless it is politically correct and guaranteed not to offend someone.

Because of this culture, employees are not comfortable to speak up against the perceived agenda and would rather just let the company take a hit rather than be personally impacted. Senior execs that make these marketing decisions are swayed by yes men and virtue signallers and really are disconnected with reality.

I used to work for mercedes benz headquarters and they were putting out gay **** like this all the time. It was truly sickening and they would bring us to the main lobby and everyone in the building would leave their desks to go watch the new marketing videos sometimes. They did this for the superbowl and the commercial they put out was so stupid and nothing about the car. So glad I dont work for a cuck company like that anymore.

Also, this is legit the BEST way you could let Mercedes HQ know theyre ****ing up. if you complain to the dealerships, the dealerships will complain to HQ and trust me that is the first thing we are notified by. All they care about is making the dealerships happy.

Such a small global population with such a large media representation. Gee I wonder why? According to HBO every second person is LBGQT. If these companies want to segment the people that made them money let them, just another list if things not buy from. Stop force-feeding people your agenda, most people don't give a sh*t what you are but they do care that people pretend it's common.

This looks like one of those fake SNL commercials. I'm not sure what Mercedes feels the need to make a political commercial. Just show the car driving on a wet street at night.
