I think that political correctness goes out the window when trying to brand. To have sizzle as a brand you have to regardless of the rules of the day understand the importance of being distinctive. You may have to forget about the standards and ask what people implicitly look for when reading advertisements. Sure they want your mission statement and bio information. What attracts the public is often times the irrelevant.
The provocative and the imaginative are the teammates that reinvent you and your company. Regardless, of the business it is an inescapable fact that novel approach to brand media succeeds. Conventional though is fine, but a totally unconventional approach catches the publics imagination. Political Correctness is a way to declare that you are not interesting in a free thinking way. Many people realize that political correctness can be more than not insulting or hurting feeling. Kindness and consideration are always a keen focus worth having.
The problem happens when you can not think outside the box. The ultimate gauge of your power to engage will be your ability to be a straight thinker. Remember, there is a great deal of power given to those that contribute and gain visibility for communicating in an interesting and catchy way. The audience finds that those that transcend the narrow boundaries of everyday culture deliver some important identifiable and distinguishable benefit. Convention is the bookmark of a culture, but people prefer the full spectrum of thought. They identify unabashedly with the visionary, and it may be totally irrelevant if they practice political correctness.
