Pepsi released its 'Global Message of Unity' campaign featuring model Kendall Jenner on a peace mission, armed with nothing but a refreshing can of Pepsi. [...] The ad was mainly criticised for its concision with the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement, as it appeared to trivialise the important protesting efforts of activists. The backlash was so strong that Pepsi released an apology statement and removed the ad entirely.
A 2019 Peloton advert caused controversy due to its supposed sexist and dystopian depiction of women and gender roles. After a wife is gifted a Peloton bike for Christmas from her husband, the ad shows a series of video diaries which suggest that her life has dramatically improved since her Peloton journey.
