Ad Age Digital Edition June 29, 2020 Editor’s Note Welcome to the Ad Age Digital Edition. This issue, which is focused on how marketers and agencies are responding to pressure to increase the diversity in their ranks, has been in the works for Jessica Wohl is months. It became even more meaningful during food reporter and the rise in racial justice activism over the past few co-host of the Ad Age Marketer’s weeks following the death of George Floyd. Brief podcast Ad Age has been reporting on the steps agencies and marketers have taken, from Black Lives Matter statements of support and donations to frank assessments of their diversity—or lack of diversity—and promises to change. There is much work to be done. One area where the industry has already made some strides is in promoting more women. A new report from the CMO Council found that women in senior marketing roles last year actually earned a tad more than men. Of course, as starkly illuminated by the #MeToo movement, women still face barriers—all the more reason why it is important to have women in leadership positions. Our 2020 Women to Watch list, also in this issue, profiles some of the women who are leading cultural change, pushing clients and their own organizations to think differently. The list is a reflection of all of the women whose Ad Age Digital Edition June 29, 2020 WELCOME work is bold and loud, as well as those whose work happens a bit more behind the scenes. This year’s list features 20 women in the U.S. and 20 based in Europe. These powerful women include Shayna Walker, director of diversity and inclusion and campus recruiting at Horizon Media. Walker says she’s tired of hearing companies talk about diversity and inclusion efforts rather than taking specific steps. “It is easy to talk about the need for change,” says Walker. “But what’s missing is consistent action. The real work lies in truly committing to ‘the how’ and disrupting the status quo to actually effect change.” An expanded online feature will include additional thoughts from each of this year’s 40 honorees. For example, Nadja Bellan-White, executive partner at Ogilvy Group and one of our 20 Women to Watch Europe honorees, says she finds it sad to be “one of a handful of Black people in senior positions.” She says she knows many people who left the industry, “just because it became too hard, not because they weren’t smart enough, but because the challenges were too tough. Too many times, the doors are slammed.” Also in the digital edition, Jack Neff dives into the diversity and inclusion work Procter & Gamble Co. has been doing for years, including its films on Ad Age Digital Edition June 29, 2020 WELCOME racial bias including “The Talk” and “The Look.” Still, Chief Brand Officer Marc Pritchard offers a frank assessment, noting that while P&G has added more women into its executive ranks, it falls short on people of color. Adrianne Pasquarelli takes a look at the growing Facebook ad boycott and where brands are diverting their dollars. Pinterest and TikTok are among the platforms that could gain at Facebook’s expense. In our Brand Playbook feature, Neff outlines how brands should manage the growth of employee activism. And in “Five Questions With,” Creativity Editor Ann-Christine Diaz discusses how the industry can address racial inequity, with questions answered by some of the industry leaders who participated in our “Future of Creativity” week. Plus, Simon Dumenco’s “Ad Age at 90” looks back at the ‘1984’ launch marketing for Apple’s Mac. Last week, Apple announced plans to switch to using its own chips in the Mac. Some new Intel- powered Macs are still to come, but over the next two years Apple’s ARM chips will find their way into its own computers. —Jessica Wohl Return to Table of Contents News The future of upfronts The Week Ahead: June 29-July 3, 2020 June 29 Conagra is reviewing Ad Age hosts a virtual roundtable discussion on calls to reform its Mrs. Butterworth’s TV’s upfront season.

  • Adage's Media
    Important to Important People 2019 MEDIA KIT 685 3rd Avenue Floor 10 New York, NY 10017 From the World Wars to the beer wars, advertising has always been the defining landmark of our cultural landscape. And if the economy is the engine of any society, then advertising is its fuel. From their first appearance in 1933 to their enduring presence on the American landscape, the Clydesdales symbolize Budweiser beer and America’s great industrial spirit. For the 2015 Grammys, Deutsch helped Target give more music to fans (instead of more commercials) when Imagine Dragons took the stage on a street in Las Vegas during a single four-minute commercial buy. The strategy was repeated in 2016 with a live music video for Gwen Stefani. Ad Age leads and fuels the industry responsible for shaping culture.

  • Springhill Company Is a Global Consumer and Entertainment Brand Created to Empower Greatness in Every Individual
    The SpringHill Company is a global consumer and entertainment brand created to empower greatness in every individual. The SpringHill Company unites three companies built by LeBron James and Maverick Carter: UNINTERRUPTED, the athlete empowerment brand, SpringHill Entertainment, the premium scripted and unscripted film and television production company and The Robot Company, the brand and culture consultancy. Empowerment is at the center of everything SpringHill does with diversity being an instinctive priority embedded into that mission from the ground up. With its workforce comprising 66% people of color, diversity is within SpringHill’s DNA. It is this diversity in thought, talent, skill and ethnicity that supports how the company shows up for the Black community. SpringHill creates content that its employees can see themselves in and by intentionally partnering with Black creatives to tell those stories. Telling diverse stories is a mandate, not an option, in a way that can entertain but still educate and steer difficult conversations to fuel necessary action. The company focuses on shining a light on stories that are the fabric of American history. Simply put: We cannot move forward until we acknowledge our past. This is evident in scripted and documentary films and series like Self-Made (Netflix) inspired by Madam C.J. Walker who created a beauty empire in the early 20th century starring Octavia Spencer and Emmy-winning doc What’s My Name, Muhammad Ali Part I (HBO) that explored Ali’s challenges, confrontations, comebacks and triumphs through recordings of his own voice. Similarly rooted upcoming projects include Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street (CNN Films) that examines the violent events of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and Josephine (ABC Signature) that is in development as a drama series spotlighting Josephine Baker’s impact as a legendary Jazz performer and civil rights activist.

L. Rev. 667 (2021). This Comment is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Reviews and Journals at UW Law Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Washington Law Review by an authorized editor of UW Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. La (Do Not Delete) 6/10/21 11:02 AM BULLY NO MORE: WHY TRADEMARK OWNERS ENGAGE IN TRADEMARK OVERREACH AND HOW TO PREVENT IT Quynh La* Abstract: At its core, trademark law exists as a tool for consumer protection. Thus, trademark owners use policing and enforcement to maintain a trademark’s goodwill, which in turn protects consumers from confusion. But policing and enforcement can lead to trademark overreach and bullying—which undermine the goal of trademark law. This Comment explains that trademark owners are incentivized to engage in aggressive enforcement tactics because courts weigh enforcement efforts in favor of trademark strength. And strong trademarks receive strong protection because such marks are more likely to succeed in trademark infringement litigation. To curb trademark bullying and realign trademark law with its consumer protection purpose, this Comment argues that courts assessing trademark strength should focus on evidence of marketing strategies and consumer perception rather than trademark enforcement.
