Satirical marketing meeting skit from @sharellegrant

The creator performs a satirical skit, playing two marketing executives in a meeting. They brainstorm cynical and manipulative tactics to market fitness products to women, such as promoting trends like "skinny is back," creating overpriced gender-specific products (the "pink tax"), and spreading misinformation about exercises like deadlifts to confuse consumers and drive sales of specialized programs.

Transcript excerpt

What if we tell them that skinny is back and that they should swap their strength training for Pilates? Love that. And let's double the price of the Pilates classes best so we can make more money off women. Of course. And since creatine is trending right now, we'll make a women's ottley version. Same formula, pink label, higher price. Oh, the pink tax. Brilliant. What should we say when they push back? Good point. Let's just tell them that deadlifts make their waist thicker and that they need a special program tailored to their menstrual cycle. They'll be so confused, they won't even question the creatine. Genius. Absolutely genius.
