The Risky Business of Advertising

The problem with doing a podcast regarding Porsche advertisements is the fact that I get lost in watching the countless ads on YouTube for "research." Hours went by watching moving, touching, and heartfelt ads that could actually bring one to well up a bit with unshed tears. Other ads tend to make you laugh out loud or roll your eyes. Some are a bit cringy and others are profound; all in the name of Porsche. There are ads that are a little naughty and some that are completely wholesome and innocent. There are print advertisements, television commercials, and new digital media ads. There are celebrities driving all manner of Porsche's over the years with the same message: Driving a Porsche will change the way you feel about life. Simply put, Porsche: There is no substitute.

Attitude Adjustment: Women and Porsche

"Is that your husband's Porsche?" "Move over and let me show you how it's done." "Your boyfriend must be really trusting to let you drive his car." And on and on and on. These are some of the attitudes that some men have about women and Porsches. Misogynistic, sexist, and sometimes downright cruel. We sometimes tend to open our mouths and insert both feet in an attempt to marginalize females in what is and what has been a predominately male-controlled industry. Yet, if we were to look a little deeper, we would see that women have had a strong voice among the collectors, enthusiasts, and racers. It isn't lost on me that this podcast is being voiced by a man and that I am sometimes tone-deaf to what is important. So, maybe it's time for a bit of an attitude adjustment and I step aside for what is clearly the next generation of Porsche owners.
