Ad Age Wake-Up Call: Three CEOs Dump Trump and Other News to Know Today
Posted in: Uncategorized
Good morning. Welcome to Ad Age’s Wake-Up Call, our daily roundup of advertising, marketing and digital-related news. What people are talking about today: Three CEOs dropped out of President Trump’s advisory council after he was roundly criticized for a weak initial response to the violence in Charlottesville, Va. Intel’s Brian Krzanich and Under Armour’s Kevin Plank departed after Merck’s Kenneth C. Frazier made the first move, The New York Times reports. Trump’s response to Frazier was a Twitter tirade, of course. Politico says the episode illustrates “the tricky balancing act for America’s CEOs: Avoid Trump and run the risk of being his target or get close to this White House at your peril.”
Also: President Obama’s poignant response to Charlottesville was one of the most-liked Tweets of all time, Mashable says. Looks like it just surpassed Ellen DeGeneres’ famous 2014 Oscars selfie.
