🏃🏻‍♀️Big oil is always chasing after potential audiences to misinform, and the newest ones are increasingly on social media via Influencers. That's why we started the #CleanCreators pledge, asking creators to not work with the #fossilfuel industry.

In fact, you might notice a trend of @InterpublicIPG companies working for @Aramco . That’s not a coincidence. IPG has set up an agency to serve the world’s biggest polluter exclusively. It’s called Well7, named after the well that first produced oil in Saudi Arabia.

There is a growing wave of talented professionals walking away from working for fossil fuels, in advertising, PR, finance, and beyond. We want you to meet some of the people who are a part of this growing trend - a 🧵 👇👇 #climateaction #fossilfuel #greenwashing #adagency

Incredibly awkward interaction from earlier in this #slipperysix hearing: Shell's US CEO denying that recent climate science is a 'red alert' for the planet and that climate change is an 'existential threat.' You can’t solve climate change if you can't admit it's serious.

Often, ad and PR companies will describe their campaigns for fossil fuel companies as an effort to balance the public debate. What these numbers show is that there is no way to balance the debate as long as they continue to run fossil fuel campaigns.

The @NYTimes runs their own disinformation shop too. As their reporters run exposés of fossil fuel lies, @TBrandStudio lends the paper's voice and credibility to known climate misinformers.

Over at @PublicisGroupe , their flagship agencies play vital roles greenwashing major fossil fuel companies. Their client @TotalEnergies is being hauled into a French court for advertising that their emissions are decreasing, when they are in fact going up.

@Shell @femalequotient @tolmeia Brand videos about women's empowerment are an obviously transparent effort to distract from Shell's huge negative impact on women. We hope agencies and creatives use #CannesLions2022 as an opportunity to see how fossil fuel clients are incompatible with their deeply held values.

"UN climate campaign leaders are taking advice from a PR firm that works extensively for fossil fuel giants" @BrunswickGroup is playing both sides of the industry, and just recently opened up an office in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Remember those algae fuel ads @BBDOworldwide made for @exxonmobil ? In the emails, Exxon staff dance around the fact that those fuels simply do not exist. Now they’re in court in Massachusetts and beyond for misleading consumers.

. @Mindshare ’s client @bp_plc is being sued in multiple jurisdictions for misleading consumers about their sustainability plans. Mindshare is placing the media for the ads targeting consumers designed to mislead the public about BP’s policies.

The world's most authoritative report on climate change just released a new chapter. In it, scientists showed how advertising and PR agencies are deepening the climate emergency by working with fossil fuel companies. @DuncanWrites explains in @TheDrum :
