Brands are hypocritical if they don’t hold all media platforms to the same standard
By Venessa Hunt, General Manager at ThinkPremiumDigital, Published Mi3
Imagine if Australian broadcasters and publishers knowingly on-sold people’s data, played a role in genocide or fuelled body image issues in teenagers. Brands would be boycotting them in droves and insisting they be held to account. Yet that’s exactly what other media platforms are doing with impunity. ThinkPremiumDigital’s Venessa Hunt asks why.
There’s a step change in urgency from brands to address societal issues as Australia’s biggest advertisers collectively interrogate and invest in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG).
Consumers expect more from the brands they purchase from, and brands are becoming vocal on the need for their supply chains to echo these expectations.
However, when it comes to media investment, not all media platforms are held to the same standards.
