Yesss!!! This!!! Not even mad at Brooks - just at the bigger picture. Big companies that can afford to make a difference but choose to under pay or even ask for things for free is unacceptable in this economy

what's going to happen is... they're going to make people sign an NDA before they even talk so when they ask for free stuff the creator won't be able to talk about it

As an artist that’s been hired by Brooks many times, this situation makes me so sad. I have never been treated or paid more fairly than in my work with Brooks. I just can’t believe this unfortunate situation happened because it is SO unlike them 💔

But did they contribute to your non profit? Did they go above and beyond? Sometimes if you more than make up for what you did, it binds customers to you. Loyalty forever.

I used to work in marketing for Live Nation (you know 'em, you hate 'em) and you will not believe how much we asked people to do for free. Absolutely absurd.

It is sad we have to fight this hard for bigger companies to behave better. There really so little decency in capitalism

Glad you called attention to this. Brooks are the only shoes I’ve been wearing for over 10 years. I’m going to try on some other brands. This left a very bad taste

Marx wrote extensively about this, the big Bourgeoisie will always step on the fingers of the petite bourgeoisie with all the intend on throwing them back to the proletariat.

If anyone understands how complicated exposure is on the internet, Juli does. She needs a break

I’m in the floral industry and “exposure” is an all too common ploy for influencers, celebrities and corporations. It’s something we have to navigate carefully even when we say no so they don’t turn around and badmouth you to others. It’s just another example of power imbalances in our society and how those in power use that power to their own ends.

they thought she should be happy to have their name on her list of "customers" like it is clout or something

I feel this continues the ongoing struggle for artists to be paid their fair share while the management etc make bank. As with all American capitalist businesses law and greed, mostly greed and corruption
