Follow on Google News | Marketing Firm Dispels "Sexist" Comments with HumorPostcardMania responds to the "Girls of PostcardMania" critics
By: Ferris Stith The 2010 calendar, which breaks the mold of conservative office calendars, met criticism from some of the marketers' clients, claiming the calendar exploited their female staff. "It was just something we did," says Joy Gendusa, Founder and CEO of PostcardMania, who can be seen in the September photo. "We have attractive employees, people kept suggesting we do it — so we did. All the girls were on board, fully dressed and we certainly didn't exploit or try to offend anyone. This new calendar reflects that we have a sense of humor as a company."
