Pausing Social Media
Respect is at the core of who we are and how we operate. Brown-Forman is taking time to pause and reflect upon how we, along with our media partners, can be better and do better. During this time, we reiterate our belief that more can and should be done to address inequality, hate, and racism.
To help bring focus to the importance of this work, starting July 1 we are pausing our paid advertising across our portfolio of brands on three major social media platforms globally — Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We will suspend indefinitely until we are further along in our evaluation and assessment.
