H&M released a marketing campaign for children's hoodies featuring a black child modeling a green hoodie labeled "coolest monkey in the jungle." This prompted backlash as referring to people of color as monkeys has a history as a racial slur. While the phrase is commonly used in Europe to refer to children, H&M did not consider how it could be viewed as insensitive in other countries. As a result, they faced boycotts that decreased sales and required discounting products. This highlights the need for companies to have diverse marketing teams that can research different cultural contexts.
