Product Information

These brands are able to stand firm even under the threat of losing some existing customers as they include people from marginalized communities, for a simple reason. Their commitment to inclusive marketing isn’t just about sales. Incredibly, Defendant even claimed that ‘[a]rtificial colors pose no known risks to human health or safety’,” Thames’ suit also said. “In doing so, Defendant concealed from consumers material information it knew.” Their roots in support of the community go deep. The brands have invested time, resources, built relationships, and seen the positive impact their inclusion and advocacy has had on both individuals and the community. They’ve connected their support for the community with their values and core beliefs.

We are excited to see the growth of Bing across our girlswear, boys and unisex lines,” saidHannah Miles, Joint Managing Director at Fashion UK. “The trend guide collections bring fresh opportunities to tailor creative to each retailer and offer gorgeous designs to our consumers and their Bingsters.” Not only will 2021 Bing move into bathtime and dental products with Solent, but also launch onto the children’s audio system, Tonies, as the platform prepares to deliver an audio storytelling experience for all Bingsters, slated for a 2022 release. In publishing terms, Bing continues to perform well for HarperCollins, who witnessed a 62 per cent year on year net sales growth in 2020 and has nine new titles scheduled for release this year. But like Skittles, the brands that have been facing the ire of consumer groups for their inclusive marketing campaigns and advocacy this year specifically, are not new to inclusion on the whole, or their support of the LGBTQ+ community.

Mars is in the news today with the candy company facing a Skittles lawsuit and it has some consumers wondering if the sweet treat will be banned in the U.S. The civil suit contends that Mars has long known about alleged risks associated with this chemical and, in February 2016, publicly vowed that it would phase out titanium dioxide. After France banned titanium dioxide in 2019, Mars said that it would comply with this regulation, court papers state. To get the scare out of the way first, there are no plans to ban the sale of Skittles in the U.S. The candy meets food safety regulations put in place by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thames contends that Mars still sells candy in the US that contains titanium dioxide as an additive and is “failing to inform consumers of the implications of consuming the toxin”. (Ingredients lists vary, some saying they might or might not contain titanium dioxide.) Building on Bing’s 2020 success, Acamar Films are delighted to be expanding their UK licensing programme as appetite for Bing, the multi-award-winning hit pre-school show, continues to grow. Last year demand for Bing consumer products enjoyed an 11% year-on-year increase (Kidz Global, 0-6 years, Oct 2020 vs Oct 2019).

Both Target and Bud Light have had campaigns celebrating Pride month, partnering with organizations supporting LGBTQ+ causes, and even incorporating the community in their marketing for more than 10 years. Ben & Jerry’s has conducted business in Israel with a licensee partner since 1987. Its ice cream is sold by Shufersal supermarkets in Israeli settlements, which was listed by the UN as one of 112 companies profiting from Israel’s illegal activity and human rights violations. As a result, this year’s call for boycotts don’t change their support for the LGBTQ+ community. They aren’t abandoning the friends they’ve made and what they stand for because some consumers don’t like it.The popular kids’ property and pre-school series, Bing is continuing to expand its UK licensing programme, building on the success the IP has seen across the toys and wider consumer product space to date. A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles,” the authority said. “After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body.” The relationships you build with the communities you serve will fuel them feeling like they belong with you. When you protect those relationships, by standing up for the people you serve, especially those from marginalized communities, you’ll strengthen the sense of belonging they have with you. So then where does this Skittles candy lawsuit come from? The lawsuit was filed by San Leandro resident Jenile Thames who is seeking class-action status. The consumer is suing the company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The costs for delivery, installation services and monthly insurance products cannot be placed on BNPL.
