BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[weepiper]

Oh look, on this very thread.

Called out here for being a bunch of sexist and homophobic cunts.

This is from their own marketing material for their 'Trashy Blonde' beer.

Would you say that the bullying is fouler than the growler howler?

For the people subjected to the workplace atmosphere, that’s obviously worse. But contributing to a sneaky culture of misogynist sniggering? Not a great contribution to the life of the nation.

 

[chilango]

It's not hard to find an awful lot of hypocrisy knocking around though.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't laud misogynistic marketing as "commendable" nor have I invested in companies indulging in these campaigns.

In fact I haven't invested in any companies.

 

[equationgirl]

None at all. The company is changing, and should be encouraged to continue to.

Please explain how the company is changing, as they're using the same tired misogynistic marketing campaign basis they did in 2011. Surely if they were enacting meaningful change, it would be right across the company's culture?

What the hell are shareholders and marketing cunts doing on this board anyway?

The tag teaming was quite ingenious the first time, but do you really think they'll go for it again?

The company is changing from what existed purely in your imagination to what purely exists in Dess's imagination.

Have I got that right?

You tell 'em!

Annoying you.

Neither did I per se, but as a component of a wider strategy it's certainly been successful.

You specifically said "commendable.". I'm not disputing its success.

I'm pretty sure that I called their success at creating a billion pound business "commendable", not what you're calling their misogynistic marketing. However, that begs the question, does the end justify the means? Obviously not in all cases, but in this case, it's a business which has provided employment to many thousands directly and indirectly, paid a lot of tax, and the associated benefits of that etc, etc,. What's that worth in terms of upsetting a few people with growler in their marketing? Obviously we'll have different opinions on that.

It can only be commendable if they receive a first in class anti-prize

Rather successfully I think.

LOL.

Then you’d better stop doing it, hadn’t you?

I’ve come back.

Please turn around go to the Hooters next door. And stay there.

The beer isn’t that good in Hooters.

Erm. I’m not the one trolling this thread and many others.

Get in the sea then

 

[Fozzie Bear]

It's good that there are different opinions on this now instead of women simply being wrong about it all, I guess.

Oh dear, here we go again. You made yourself look quite the prat last time.

Enjoying extra HR and responding to the charges of misogyny with denial?

"Brewdog's chairman and deputy chairwoman, Allan Leighton and Blythe Jack, said they didn't "subscribe to the characterisation"."

That's not particularly convincing "change" to my mind.
