Did you tell them why you were canceling?
Haven't received a single email from orgs that I deal with.
There was a follow up email from picky asking why, which we declined to reply or comment. Figured they knew why; cancelled literally within minutes of receiving the offensive email. And because we are very much a part of the silent revolution which I hope will be quite clear in November. We’ll see.
One hand doesn't know what the other is doing, especially when one of those hands is marketing. They haven't the slightest idea why you canceled. Not going to tell you what you should do but sending comms to the owners on why would be a good direction. People get so caught up in online and offline media, which is biased, and don't understand that the views being pushed are a minority. Companies need to know this.
Don't bank on November.
Are you suggesting the executive team of companies don't know what their marketing department is doing? Based on personal experience, I respectfully disagree. If an individual or a conglomeration of individuals known as a corporation are too misinformed, ignorant, or whatever, to understand that the narrative being pushed is a minority view, or an unrealistic view (defund the police? Really? Hahahahahahah), without me having to explicitly explain it to them, then it's not anyone I care to do business with anyway. I'm no genius, but it doesn't take a genius to look around and form a coherent opinion. What is happening is total insanity. The dystopia push is strong. I do believe it will get worse before it gets better. Not much I can do except sit, watch, and be prepared. Me and my family have been preparing for years.
I'm not banking on November, but a gal can hope. Securing the integrity of the elections should be tantamount at this point. Unfortunately, all signs point to mail-in-voting fraud being the norm. Keeping my fingers crossed the loons cannot fraud enough to make a difference in the outcome. I know, naive perhaps. Still trying to be optimistic.
