Recent stories featuring the likes of Target and Chick-fil-A during Pride month served as prime examples of how even well-established brands can find themselves entangled in these debates and facing criticism and even boycotts. The ability to navigate and effectively respond to these challenges has become essential for these brands to maintain their reputation, and even impacts the companies’ success.

We’ll be discussing all this and more on our next webinar, where our team of experts will delve deep into the dynamic landscape of the culture wars.
