Nordstrom and Warby Parker Remove Ads from Breitbart [Racked]
An anonymous consumer watch dog group called Sleeping Giants has been working to encourage brands to rescind their ads from the conservative news outlet Breitbart. Their efforts, which have been ongoing since November, have been successful, with many companies — from fashion brands like Nordstrom, Lululemon, Sephora and Warby Parker to food and home brands like Kellogg’s and Jessica Alba’s The Honest Company — pulling their ad dollars from the site. (Many companies’ ads ended up on the site unbeknownst to them, thanks to a third-party advertising algorithm.) Amazon is one of the few companies which continues to advertise on Breitbart.
