More Big Advertisers Suspend Google Ads Over Offensive Videos


Another wave of marketers has suspended advertising on YouTube or in some cases other Google properties in what’s shaping up as an unprecedented revolt against the world’s largest digital media player over ads placed with objectionable content.

General Motors, Walmart, Pepsico and FX Networks on Friday joined brand marketers that include Johnson & Johnson, Verizon and AT&T, which earlier in the week said they’ve halted YouTube advertising over brand-safety issues.

The Association of National Advertisers also issued a statement Friday supporting “several ANA members” that “have suspended their advertising on Google websites, including YouTube, after some ads were placed near objectionable content including hate speech and terrorist-oriented websites”

The 2017 Kia Cadenza, Christina Hendricks Are ‘Impossible to Ignore’ in David&Goliath’s Latest

Kia is going all-in on its advertising lately.

After launching a new spot with LeBron James last week in “Rain” last week and promoting the 2017 Kia Cadenza via its “The Luxury Experts” stunt asking valets to identify the unmarked luxury car earlier this month, David&Goliath returns with another effort for the Cadenza.

“Impossible to Ignore” calls back to “The Luxury Experts” in its use of valets (albeit in a much different way) and stars Christina Hendricks, who will always be Mad Men‘s Joan Harris to us. In the spot, Hendricks walks out of a hotel to a line of valets with luxury cars waiting outside. Disappointed valets open their Audi, BMW and Lexus car doors, but Hendricks walks past them all. She has plans of her own.

Like “The Luxury Experts,” the spot is built around a simple concept. Unlike that spot, it gets to its point fairly quickly, as Hendricks drives away behind the wheel of her Cadenza as the voiceover delivers the line “Confidence never goes out of style.”

Regardless of how you feel about the execution, it’s hard to argue against the actress as the embodiment of the ad’s tagline.

Friday Odds and Ends

-Grey New York and Pantene celebrate “Strong, Beautiful African American Hair” (video above).

-On that note, the Ad Club of New York notes that there are fewer than 100 black female executives in the entire ad industry.

-Pretty much every ad industry trade group applauded the senate’s decision to repeal laws forbidding internet service providers from selling users’ data without their permission. Ad Contrarian calls both parties “fucking irresponsible morons.”

-Agency Lapiz makes it rain tequila to promote tourism to Mexico in Germany.

Christopher Koller returns to Huge as vice president, strategy for the agency’s London office.

-Virgin America is deader than the American Health Care Act.

-Chicago’s Lipman Hearne hired Derrick Rivers, veteran of Fluent 360/DDB and Burrell Communications, as its new creative director.

-Miami Hispanic agency Republica promoted Melissa Bartolini to head of strategy and Fredda Rodriguez to director of channel strategy.
