Womp-womp, DeSantis proved that people are tired of waking up companies.
All anyone has to do is take a look at Disney … Americans are fed up with it. Continue to create great products, provide great customer service, and stay out of politics.
It seems that Judd Legum hasn’t read the room yet exactly because he seems to think people should be angry that a large PR firm is telling their customers like Starbucks, Coca-Cola and Netflix to stay out of the debate over. abortion.
They are right.

CFSP!
SAY IT IS NOT SO!
Companies that just do business things.
horror
2. The company, @zenogroupcreated “an email template to share with customer contacts”.
The model warns that the media “will try to get companies to take a stand” on the repeal of Roe

Zeno understands this.
The media loves to force companies to take “their” position (not a position) and then when their customers are pissed off and start losing money, the media has moved on to something else to pester the masses with.
3. The email template, written by a senior Zeno executive, claims that abortion is “a textbook ’50 / 50 ‘problem” and a “winless situation.[] for companies. “He says silence is best because any statement” will feed at least 15 to 30 percent of their stakeholders. “https://t.co/vzxuQPamgz pic.twitter.com/QDgQMX41Ej

They are. Right.
This is a winless situation.
Stay out.
4. Zeno warns corporations that media claims about reproductive rights should be ignored to avoid attracting attention: “[B]it is not advisable to enter the center “https://t.co/vzxuQPamgz pic.twitter.com/tAJP3qGxWv

And that’s what really bothers Judd, who has a history of persecuting companies for having wrong views on issues.
5. In a section of Zeno’s model dedicated to customers devoted to social media, the PR firm states that companies “shouldn’t engage with direct questions about your company’s position” on abortion rights and “not answer questions. questions about your company’s position “https://t.co/vzxuQPamgz

Smart.
There is a reason this company is one of the largest.
6. Zeno is a subsidiary of @EdelmanPR, the largest PR conglomerate in the world. Zeno’s private advice to clients is in stark contrast to Zeno’s communications to the public, which emphasize the importance of defending women’s rightshttps://t.co/vzxuQPamgz pic.twitter.com/4PkCkFzyrV

As a woman, this editor finds it repugnant that our rights are linked to the death of other human beings.
7. In a March 2021 statement published on its corporate website, @zenogroup stated that everyone must make “a commitment to a gender fair world” and this includes “speaking in the face of inequality”

Like this?
8. Other customers of @Zenogruppo to include @duck, @AstraZeneca, @ATT, @ASIC America @MiracoloGro, @pizzeria, @coronaextrausa, @PrudentialAnd @Lenovo https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS contacted five @zenogroup Executives for comment and no one repliedhttps://t.co/vzxuQPamgz

Do you see what he’s doing?
He’s chasing them, just like the PR group said.
9. If other public relations firms, including @EdelmanPRare handing out similar advice that may explain why so few companies that publicly defend women’s rights have spoken out about the planned repeal of Roehttps://t.co/vzxuQPamgz
– Judd Legum (@Judd Legum) May 6, 2022
Could you explain that these companies want to stay in business, Judd, and have seen the absolute disaster that Disney made for itself.
well, huh? They are not political outbursts or moral outbursts. They are product manufacturers. Sell your damn product. End. https://t.co/lJO6ngHfXs
