Hyundai<\/h2>\n<p>Hyundai&#8217;s ad agency, Innocean, sought to highlight the car&#8217;s eco-friendly credentials with a daring advert. In the short film, a man is depicted attempting suicide but failing because of the lack of emissions from the vehicle. The video was described as &#8216;graphic&#8217; by commentators.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17609\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17609\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard-432x286.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard-912x604.jpg 912w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard-696x461.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/freeboard-1068x708.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\">jasminedirectory.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The video hit the headlines world wide, but for all the wrong reasons, and the advertisement was swiftly withdrawn. The desire was presumably to shock &#8211; perhaps even amuse &#8211; and trigger viral sharing on sites like Facebook. But the audience and the media were left with a bad impression of the brand.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the Hyundai ad is a prime reason why companies hire corporate social responsibility officers to check their ethical stance.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Mountain Dew<\/h2>\n<p>PepsiCo, makers of Mountain Dew, also hoped to trigger a cascade of social shares with a video depicting a victim of domestic violence and various alleged abusers. In the line-up, there are several black <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/health-fitness\/men\/\"   title=\"men\" >men<\/a> and a goat.<\/p>\n<p>The concept was created by Tyler the Creator, a 22 year old Californian rapper that has earned himself a reputation for controversial outbursts on Twitter.

Like the others in our list, it was the result of a misguided attempt at humor.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2012, Femfresh ran an ad campaign which was criticized for insulting women&#8217;s intelligence. The campaign was designed to a promote a range of feminine hygiene products, but its use of childish language was widely criticized.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17579\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17579\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-432x611.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-912x1290.jpg 912w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-300x424.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-696x984.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/thorax-1068x1510.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jasminedirectory.com\">jasminedirectory.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rather than pulling the campaign, Femfresh stuck to its guns. It also made the crucial mistake of neglecting its social media pages in the ensuing panic: a PR disaster, and a basic social media error. Rather than put things right, it simply closed its page and left 5,000 people waiting for an apology that never came.<\/p>\n<h2>The Way Forward<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than chasing likes, shares and comments, marketers must take their audience into account. The scattergun approach simply doesn&#8217;t work in a connected world where everyone has a voice to feed back.
