Dealing With Haters (Creatively)

1 min | Storytelling

Every brand has haters. Instead of ignoring them, learn how to use them.
Here are three creative ways to deal with haters.

1. Make them look dumb

some aren't meant for the great outdoors ad
ad showing one-starred reviews

2. Take them literally

Every 3 minutes, someone online says that black people should “Go back to Africa.”

okay i'm done. go back to africa, you are not welcome here twitter

So Black & Abroad, a collective that empowers black travelers, invited people to do just that.

3. Embrace the hate

Diesel used their haters to create a limited collection.

diesel is not cool anymore clothing
diesel employees wearing worst customer service ever shirts

That’s it. Waiting for your hate mail 😉
