Hug the Cactus: Advertising to Haters

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

This week, we look at how some companies advertise to haters.


Every advertiser gets negative comments on social media. Some brands shrink away – and some take those negative comments and spin them into marketing gold.


Supercuts took negative comments about cheap haircuts and created a hilarious advertising campaign.

Spirit Airlines gave haters a place to vent – then offered them 8,000 free air miles.

And drink maker Oatly, actually dedicated a website to their haters.
