Dear Mr. Rapinoe,

I am writing to you concerning a recent order that was placed for 5 pallets of white printer paper, approximately two weeks ago, October 4 for Staples, Inc. I received an email two business days later confirming the receipt of payment and the shipment of the pallets of printer paper. Shipments from your company should reach the specific destination within 4-6 business days of being ordered, and I have yet to receive the pallets. Do you have any information on what my have potentially happened to delay the shipment or where the shipment would be currently?

I am very confident in your products and customer service. The shipment of printer paper is needed soon, and I am hopeful that you may be able to provide me with an estimate of when I would receive them. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

Sincerely,

Tim Brown

NAME Resolving Ethical Business Challenges Charlie just graduated from Michigan University and landed a job as a copywriter at Fletcher, Alexander, and Burgess (FAB) Advertising assigned to one of the subsidiary accounts of Delicious Uber Bacon Ingredients Extraordinaire Corporation. This conglomerate was primarily a food processing manufacturer beginning one hundred years ago with pork in the Midwest. Overall corporate sales of beef, chicken, pork, and seafood were more than $ million each year. FAB considered many advertising options and opted for a celebrity spokesperson. That meant Charlie would work with Alice Aimee Lucie Jeanne Bompard as the celebrity endorser. Ms. Bompard is a well-known, well-liked, and vibrant actress with a large younger following. Kelly, President of FAB, asked Charlie to step into her office. “Charlie, this new account is a good start for you. We usually don’t let our new copywriters handle accounts by themselves, but you have proven to be a capable employee. Your job on this account is to write copy for the commercials using Ms. Bompard’s product testimonials. The copy needs to be crafted as a testimonial, targeting the market of seventeen to thirty-year-olds. Ms. Bompard already signed an affidavit as to being a bona fide user of the product. The scripts should feature her testifying to the quality, value, and tastiness of the bacon. I want you to meet her tomorrow so you can start the writing process and understand her personality in order to script the messages. Spend the rest of the day immersing yourself in her biography and researching her on the Internet.” As Charlie left Kelly’s office he remembered a Facebook post about Ms. Bompard being a vegetarian. The next day at their meeting, Charlie asked her if she had actually tasted the bacon. Ms. Bompard replied, “Why yes, technically and legally I have tried Uber. In fact, I’ve been a huge fan since I was a kid. Bacon is my favorite food. I’ve done several testimonials in the past and know the American Advertising Federation (AAF) rules. I know as long as my comments are based on verifiable personal use, the message cannot be challenged as deceptive. In fact, Uber bacon has been a favorite of mine since I was young. It wasn’t until a month ago I became a vegetarian. Eating all that bacon for decades really did a number on my cholesterol.” “So, you feel comfortable about endorsing Uber even though you don’t eat it now?” asked Charlie. “No question about it. As far as bacon goes, Uber is second to none in taste. If people are going to eat bacon, why not eat the best? Even if it is a heart attack waiting to happen,” Ms. Bompard joked. The next day Kelly asked Charlie how it went. He explained their conversation and expressed concern over the fact Ms. Bompard is currently a vegetarian, and she attributed her high cholesterol to Uber bacon. Charlie felt relief when he saw the concern in Kelly’s
face, but soon realized her concern was about Ms. Bompard pulling out of the advertisement. Charlie reassured Kelly Ms. Bompard still wanted to promote the product, but it seemed like a contradiction to have a vegetarian promoting bacon. Kelly responded by saying as long as Ms. Bompard had eaten the bacon at some point in her life and thinks it is a good product, it makes no difference as to whether she currently eats the bacon. She continued, "Sometimes in advertising, you have to add a spin to the message you are communicating so it fits with the product you are selling. Not only are you selling a product, but more importantly, you are selling an experience, a feeling, an idea that appeals to consumers." As Charlie walked home that evening, he wondered how he was going to write this advertisement. He did not want to begin his career in a dishonest manner, but he also wanted to produce work that pleased his boss. He tried to think of creative ways to mask the contradiction of the advertisement. Maybe with humor? He asked himself if this approach would still feel dishonest. The next morning Charlie was going to meet with both Ms. Bompard and Kelly about what he had written thus far.
