A marketing stunt from diet lords Weight Watchers backfired when "mood lightbulbs" sent to Australia
A marketing stunt from diet lords Weight Watchers backfired when "mood lightbulbs" sent to Australian female journalists seemed to make a comparison between a woman's weight and her ability to enjoy sex.。
It's the first campaign to focus on sex for the brand, and judging by reactions to the "gift," it all feels a bit gross. 。

that "mistakes" were made in the campaign. "As we launched, we launched in stages and that has fuelled the conversation without context," she said.。
In a statement sent via email, Weight Watchers' director of program and content, Martha Lourey-Bird, said the program is "about falling in love with real food again, enjoying getting active and discovering how good they can feel." 。
The brand also offered research conducted in collaboration with Maidstone Consulting that states a quarter of Australian women surveyed have avoided sexual activity due to body self-consciousness.。 "These new statistics underline how body confidence can affect enjoyment of many facets of a woman’s lifestyle, including sexual satisfaction," said study collaborator Nikki Goldstein, a sexologist, in the same statement.。We're。 We're 。sure 。

with an official statement. 。The brand explained that their campaign was based on insights from some members, "who had spoken to us about how improvements in their health and wellbeing had empowered them to feel more confident.。"We acknowledge however the delivery of the campaign did not make that message clear.
