Here's some thoughts/disconnects I have after thinking about this a bit further and hearing/gathering other information (NPR link is coming).
- Ford claims that they are pulling ads in gay publications because these ads are not successful.
- The GLABT market has historically been VERY successful for both Jag and LR.
- AF agrees to hold off on the boycott for 6 months
- Ford pulls ads without consulting Jag or LR marketing
- Ford claims AF had no impact on the marketing decision
- Ford has no plans to introduct new marketing tact to this profitable market
My initial information came from the inside and further information was received from an aditional inside source. Who knows, maybe they're both wrong.
