- REI
- Patagonia
- Eddie Bauer
- Upwork

And now, Bloomberg reports that Starbucks Corp. and Diageo Plc. would also be pulling back on spending. Facebook shares tumbled over 4% in pre-market trading on Monday before bouncing back modestly after plunging 8.3% on Friday after Unilever, one of the world’s largest advertisers, halted advertisements on the social media channel. From last week’s high, shares are down 16%.
