  • When Are Brands Responsible for What Others Say?

    When Are Brands Responsible for What Others Say?
    Oct 15 2026
    When are brands responsible for what other people say? Shane Gillis's recent Saturday Night Live backlash raises an important question about brand responsibility, reputation, and customer loyalty. Brands increasingly rely on influencers, celebrities, spokespeople, creators, and brand ambassadors to connect with customers. But what happens when someone associated with your brand says or does something controversial—even when they're not officially representing your company? In this episode of Frictionless Growth Lab, Sonia Thompson explores what the Shane Gillis SNL controversy reveals about the responsibility brands have for the people they choose to platform, partner with, and promote. Drawing on examples from SNL, E.l.f. Cosmetics' partnership with Matt Rife, and Huda Beauty's decision to end its relationship with influencer Huda Mustafa, Sonia examines how brand partnerships and controversial statements can influence customer perceptions, trust, and loyalty. You'll learn: Why brands can be held accountable for the people they choose to associate with—even when they don't control what those individuals say How influencer partnerships, celebrity endorsements, and brand ambassadors can create reputational risks Why customers evaluate a brand's actions and associations, not just its marketing messages How company values can guide decisions about controversial partnerships and content Why understanding different customer perspectives matters when protecting brand reputation and earning customer loyalty The takeaway: Brands can't control everything their partners say or do, and they can't make every customer happy. But they can make intentional decisions about who they work with, what they amplify, and how they respond when controversy arises. The entire experience a brand delivers matters.

  • 235. Your Brand Values Are an Asset. Here’s How to Use Them Like One.

    235. Your Brand Values Are an Asset. Here’s How to Use Them Like One.
    Oct 1 2026
    Brand values should do more than sound good on your website. They should help your team make better decisions, navigate competing priorities, and build a company culture that supports your customers and your business. In this episode, Sonia Thompson explores how to turn brand values into a practical business asset. Using the controversy surrounding Last Ditch Bar, along with lessons from Disney, Johnson & Johnson, Tory Burch, and her own customer experience, she breaks down what happens when company values and business realities come into conflict. You'll learn why brand values should function as a decision-making system, how prioritizing your values can give employees clearer guidance, what happens when an important business responsibility is missing from your values framework, and why seemingly simple policy changes can alter the relationship customers believe they have with your brand. You'll also get practical questions you can use to pressure-test your own company values—including one of the most important: Would two reasonable team members looking at your brand values make the same decision when priorities conflict? Because the real test of brand values isn't how good they sound when everything is going well. It's whether they help your organization decide what to do when things aren't.
