Some companies actually advertise to their 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.


In this episode of Under the Influence, Terry looks at Supercuts – who 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 airmiles. And drink maker Oatly actually dedicated a website to their haters.

Yellowstone Taylor Sheridan Hollywood pilot script Paramount franchise rejection success

The season five premiere of Yellowstone drew 16 million viewers. The series creator, writer and showrunner Taylor Sheridan recently signed a nearly $200M deal with Paramount to produce the hit show and its subsequent franchise. But rewind 10 years, Sheridan had $800 to his name. He had been trying to make it as an actor in Hollywood for the better part of two decades, before deciding to quit altogether and move to Wyoming. But just then, someone said, “Why don’t you write a pilot script?”


It's good to be back. Hope you'll join us for Season 6.
