Aviation Gin’s Full Frontal Nudity

Aviation Gin let it all hang out yesterday with the launch of OnlyGins.com, a play on the sex worker-dominated platform OnlyFans. The brand tweeted the URL (which redirects to the Aviation website) with a photo of a—gasp—unlabeled bottle of its gin by photographer Wyatt Kane, setting Twitter astir about the implied seductiveness of the messaging. In true form, brand owner Ryan Reynolds cheekily chimed in with “Who in the effervescent f*ck approved this?”

The stark truth: Discover why the brand presented a promiscuous view of this now extra-adult beverage.

Learn from Ryan Reynolds, Andrea Brimmer, Sadira Furlow, Dwyane Wade, Marc Pritchard, Brad Hiranaga, Julian Duncan, Katie Puris and more during Brandweek, a fully imagined virtual experience on Sept. 14-17. Take 20% off with code FTFEDIT.

TikTok continues to war with the U.S. government, but that’s not scaring off potential buyers who are eagerly eyeing the continually expanding user base. It is, however, keeping those buyers at somewhat of a distance as they watch to see what happens with the app’s potential sale in light of President Trump’s two executive orders that instruct companies and citizens not to do business with parent company ByteDance after Sept. 20. TikTok’s vp of global business solutions, Blake Chandlee, says advertisers are seeking assurance that the audience will be there in the future—and he says that it will be—but buyers have received varying levels of communication from the company in recent months.

Staying attractive: TikTok has been bolstering its business offerings, creator program and self-serve ad platform. But will it be enough?

A director of empathy is a rare title in any industry, but that’s exactly the role Tiffany Persons has just stepped into at David&Goliath.

An unusual background for an unusual role: Persons started a casting company that finds people to perform in ads, and she founded a nonprofit for people in Sierra Leone.
