Ad of the Day: Airbnb Preaches, and Pledges, Acceptance in Evocative Post-Election Ad

Spot focuses on service's Community Commitment

It’s no secret that collaboration is essential to growth, but the how of it isn’t always so clear—and it's the understanding of how that is a true competitive advantage. Join Adweek X, a uniquely formatted event on December 4 in LA, to unlock fresh perspectives, true collaboration and growth.

A diverse group of Airbnb hosts and staff representing various races and age groups appear in this minute-long film, "Accept," which touts the service's recently introduced Community Commitment. Poignant in its own right, the spot resonates even more strongly in light of Tuesday's election results.

All Airbnb users must now sign this nondiscrimination pledge, or they won't be allowed to host or book through Airbnb. The policy states, "I agree to treat everyone in the Airbnb community—regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age—with respect, and without judgment or bias."
