Yo, let’s talk real RN. ‘All press is good press’ is the biggest myth since ‘Crocs aren’t stylish.’ But like, what happens when the ‘press’ is dragging your brand through the mud? :cyclone:

Someone tell that to the brands on Twitter that thought they were funny until they got canceled in 2.5 seconds :clown_face::joy:

Real talk, I did a case study in my PR class: 70% of companies facing negative press see a drop in sales. Facts don’t lie :chart_decreasing:

OK, but like, what about Nike’s Kaepernick ad? Some people hated it, but they made bank $$$

True, but that was calculated risk. Random bad press lacks that control. Nike knew their audience and played it smart :bullseye:

Bruh, just look at BP. That oil spill press wasn’t exactly boosting their brand image :oil_drum::prohibited:

Brands need to understand that authenticity > trying to be trendy. That’s where most fail. Keep it real, peeps. :call_me_hand:

Let’s be honest, nobody wants to be the subject of a h3h3 roast video. BAD PRESS IS BAD PRESS. Periodt! :eyes:

Lemme tell you, my small brand got a bad review on TikTok, and our DMs were ghost town :derelict_house: for weeks.

Yeah but if you’re Wendy’s, sass works — for everyone else? It’s a gamble with your rep at stake. :game_die:

I read that 50% of Zoomers won’t buy from a brand that’s disrespectful online. We notice :eyes::raised_fist:

creator_creed

Sometimes the best PR strategy is just to STFU. Silence is golden, folks. :muted_speaker::sparkles:

What about ‘cancel culture’? Big yikes for any brand thinking all press is good. Cancel culture is very real :fire:

opinionated_lurker69

I love when brands clap back, but it better be clever or it just looks like they’re trying too hard. :roll_eyes:

Bad press is like pineapple on pizza — controversial but not always the vibe you want :pineapple::pizza:

Forget the myth. Just be a human. People relate more to brands that act human. AI bots can’t take over EVERYTHING :joy:

The secret sauce? Know your audience and when to stay out of the drama. Drama-free is the way to be! :rainbow:

At the end of the day, vibes don’t lie. If you’re vibing wrong, people will feel it. #BadPressIsNotAlwaysGoodPress :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
