Ad Feedback - Reporting an ad

[Krillbot94]

Hi, 

How do you report an ad? I came across one that seemed very manipulative in design.

@Krillbot94 Nice to see you around the community.

I'm happy to pass any feedback you have to our ads team, but I'll need a bit more information first. Could you tell me a little more?

Please include as much of the below information as possible:

1. What was the ad for? Do you remember the brand, product, event or website name?
2. How are you accessing Pandora? Are you on a computer, phone, tablet or in-home device (TV, Xbox, Blu-ray player, etc.)?
3. Was it a visual ad, an audio ad, or a video ad with audio?
4. Which of your station(s) did you hear/see it on?
5. What time of day did this advertisement play?

If you're able to get a screenshot of what's happening, please send that along as well.

Can you please touch on a little more about what was wrong with the particular ad you saw?

Once I have more information about the ad, I can pass it along to our advertising team.

We really appreciate your help with this!

I think the issue is there isn't a way to report this without a public post describing to the world, what *I* think is offensive.  Is there a private way to do this?

[AdamPandora]

You can contact our support team directly with any feedback here.

Hope this helps!

Oh that's perfect, thanks!

[AdamPandora]

No problem at all, @whythesignin. 🤝

hey there pandora, i really appreciate what you all do yet taking advertising dollars from the fossil fuel industry is a really bad look and worse choice, we can't be continuing to prop up these destructive industries. what are your plans to redress this?

many thanks 🙂

Rock Auto delivers BODY PARTS

anybody else hear this commercial today -wed March 09 2022.  I kid you not!  It said Rock auto delivers body parts.   Seriously?  With all the news about human trafficking happening w the open borders you wouold think you would be very wise to chose your words.  Of course, maybe this was deliberate for the human traffickers.  Pandora you might want to look into this!

How can I report ads? And not see or hear about them?

Quit being a panzy, the fossil fuel industry powers every industry including  electric cars. Inform yourself.

How do you report an advertising discrepancy?

Kill “don’t kill the vibe!”

This promotion is offensive on several levels:  1) it is juvenile and not in alignment with other genuine advertisers.  I would not want the ad I am paying for anywhere near this crude piece of work.

2) it pokes fun at a medical condition.  You would never poke fun at depression or cancer, so why this?

Please remove this offensive “vibe.”
