Gillette CEO: $8 billion loss is ‘price worth paying’ over #MeToo campaign
Gillette CEO Gary Coombe said he does not regret his company’s controversial marketing campaign targeted at the #MeToo movement even though the company has taken an $8 billion hit.
Coombe called it a “price worth paying” in a Monday interview with Marketing Week. Procter & Gamble, the parent company of Gillette, announced Tuesday they had taken over $5 billion in losses for the quarter, after Gillette had an $8 billion noncash writedown. P&G led by Gillette has seen its market share for razors fall over the last three years.
Coombe said the ad was less provocative than other ads his company considered to try to capture the millennial market. Then he blamed the millennials for wanting cheaper razors. He sounds like a millennial himself.
