Come on Nike marketing. This tagline rocks! You’re welcome.

Just thought I’d leave this here since so many are afraid to say it.

Are the brand marketing people safe? There is so much to be done but not enough peeeeeeeeps.

They keep piling on contracter roles no one is safer it seems like. What we do?

That ad speaks to what Nike is all about. The exclusive passes, the no other brands allowed, the egotistical ads. People are not buying the bullsh-t anymore. There’s simply a lot out there and nobody needs to be talked down to.

UC Berkeley's athletic department eliminated about 20 positions. These cuts impacted marketing, communications, and creative services. The department is reorganizing due to widespread college sports changes. Affected staff can apply for new roles in "Strawberry Creek Studios." This restructuring aims for revenue growth and authentic storytelling.

All we do is new marketing brands

Bunch of people in marketing laid off in last few days but it's been selective. Both the digital side and the financial side.

Upon examining our retail outlets, I am compelled to express my reservations regarding the investment made in these products. The design appears to be a marketing strategy, potentially conceived by a marketing professional masquerading as a retailer. It is highly probable that these items are underperforming on a substantial scale. This raises the question of why we engage in such investments while simultaneously laying off genuine talent. There is no way these stores will ever compete with Apple. Now that Apple has rumored the imminent release of its AI glasses, it is only a matter of time before this becomes another failure.

Global sales kick-off but yet we are listening to our CMO about horse-racing and bourbon?! Then just shouting lots of a number and more me, me, me …. The session started so well but now …

How do you waste $ when your revenue is declining and customers are leaving?

Hire an alarm call center salesman who claimed to be a “CEO”, make him the “CMO” and give him $ to spend like a drunken sailor.

ML claims to have been a CMO at Wells Fargo at the time they didn’t have an enterprise CMO. Liar and manipulative beyond words.

He runs a cash spending engine and assigns people to the PIP line if you even dare question a business decision.

Lacrozza will be one of the biggest reasons USB will collapse. MC leaders laugh at him and yet don’t know jack.

Gunjan doesn’t have the guts to fix it.

What a joke. And yeah let’s sponsor the NFL - that’s going to be how we fix our pathetic market position.

Lots more news articles and post views generated about this RIF than the total AI tour. Great marketeering.
Add 10k more evangelists to promote the company at their new employers and it’s a total success.
When do companies fail? Too much debt? Negative cash flow? Or when the customers don’t believe they will be here next year?

Team Liquid recently experienced a new round of layoffs. This follows a previous workforce reduction seven months prior. At least five employees were impacted, according to social media posts. Affected roles included a creative coordinator and a marketing operations manager. The esports organization continues restructuring amid industry challenges.

Disney spent more on MARKETING for Avengers Endgame than the ENITRE MARKET CAP of xerox right now. $1.36/share or 34cents from that 4 way reverse split.

Dislisting is the sub $1 market which will probably be before summer

How come this
Marketing peeps at HO has so much to do and not a team to do it?

For designers there for elite program is not fed well and not that
Programs either.

Is anyone else receiving marketing emails (who is not a customer) and unable to locate an unsubscribe link on the email? I have been searching and cannot locate it anywhere. I closed my accounts quite some time ago and still getting spammed. The fact that I don’t have an option to unsubscribe is bugging me. Does anyone know how to stop the spam?

a picture worth a 1000 words.
a video worth 1000 times it weight in gold!

watch and judge for yourself, just saying....the old nike was the right nike

two words, bad a$$ and yes that is TWO dollars signs, cause this is moooney!!

Curious to here if anyone knows what percentage of actual roles will be replaced with AI here at T. Everyone knows swe positions will be consolidated but what about other roles . Anyone have any stories of it haopening

After 90% of the MLT was let go in December. Whether you liked them or not everything has gone to sh-t. But today embarks on the official end. The last person standing in Marketing ALedgister was let go. For all of us left in Marketing and are Marketing people, today marks a sad day. She was an amazing leader, she stood up for the right things and defended her people. The global campaign team did not exist before her. She was a fearless leader. Now we’ve been dismantled even more and are stuck with the two worst human beings ever. Marcus and Lindsay are snakes, truly horrible people. From the moment Rita left they planted the seeds and tried to take over. If OpenText stood by what they said when they got rid of the MLT and moved out toxic people and culture why are M&L still here? It’s a sad day when new leaders one, don’t know anything about marketing and two rids those who do just to look smarter. For us who are left, good luck to us, because we are certainly in for a ride.

Anyone else having issues working with the VP of Medicaid Marketing around timelines and execution? Feels like constant delays, wasted budget, and no clear direction. Lots of talk in meetings but when the time comes …nothing actually moves…and later we hear it couldn’t even be done. Starting to wonder if marketing is being phased out again with how little progress there’s been. Seeing this anywhere else?

Felt a bit unserious.

Our highly paid creatives couldn’t anticipate the 80’s and 90’s teen loyalists would soon be middle aged and market a dad shoe to them before new balance did? For Christ’s sake, get a clue.

We can do tech layoffs, that’s fine. Tech is too bloated.
Unfortunately that’s not going to fix Nike.
We need some hot product and strong marketing. Until that happens, nothing even begins to get better.
Ugly shoes with ba--s on the bottom or Jordan’s with 3 soles are not going to cut the mustard.

I realize there isn’t much to market. Do they even have a marketing department?

OI lay offs starting to happen in marketing.

Look at all the clowns posting on Linked on how wonderful Vz did at the super bowl, no one gives a flying f….k on how ur speeds were….a normal mal customer just wants his phone working and optimal speeds where majority can use internet. Ask these clowns who spent millions in preparation, what is the ROI on such investments. Tmob and ATT know the future at the current times and wont spend money in useless investments, oh well VZ is used to do pointless investments anyways, so not a shocker!!!!!

While the initial reaction may seem positive, looks like investors are wondering why TD pays so much for marketing execs and brand campaigns that are incongruent with reality. TD is not More Human, in fact, internally it is less human than ever.

Rumor during Cisco Live was a big wave of good talent voluntarily departing from DC marketing. Not sure what's happening there?

Until Nike has product that isn’t ugly I think we should layoff a lot of the brand marketing function. Thoughts?

You have got to be kidding me SF. You walk out of California and then advertise in a California you walked out of. A halftime show that even in California the spectators looked at each other in dismay. Not the SF I once knew. A very woke, Anti America, and lost its way company. SF did not learn from Budweiser. Values create wealth. Wealth does not create values. In short, your marketing is equal to your ethics and values. In the toilet.

Although we don’t have plan from leadership but looks like phone arena writer already has ideas that marketing teams can start executing :

Most of what I’ve heard and read points to areas such as sales, marketing, operations, etc being impacted. How about analytics?

Good job, marketing and whoever approved the latest commercial. People hate AI slop so much that making a CGI commercial while directly taking on Coca Cola is the easiest win we've had in a long while. It's been a while since I've seen so much positive chatter online about Pepsi. Good job, whoever was responsible for this.

What's happening with TEBG? Heard of a re-org for the marketers. Does this mean layoffs/restructure?

Wow, just wow! Brand and marketing reporting into HR? Must be thick asf

Management seems to be shooting themselves in the foot by letting go of their talent and keeping the folks certainly good at kissing butts. It’s a shame. I guess they feel like they don’t need marketing anymore or social. Just my two cents.

Just heard about the reductions over in Marketing. They sent out a new org chart, which I got to see just now. They are getting rid of a lot of senior manager and up, and are expanding offshore support. Anywhere I’ve ever worked that started relying heavily on offshore, has paid the price eventually. If you work at TIAA and are getting a high salary, be very wary. Any of us could be next. Luckily, I’m underpaid for my role so they’ll keep my indentured servitude around for a little longer I bet.
