I wouldn't necessarily ascribe too much journalistic merit regarding your source link; it's quite clearly a biased source by design.

A cursory glance at their home page reveals as much, and they spell it out clearly themselves.

From their FAQ [1]:

Sure, I just grabbed the first link I found about this fact that Gillette lost billions. Here are some more links about the same thing, with their CEO addressing it:

To be sure, there is no way to prove causation from correlation. Perhaps it was a giant coincidence in timing. But I wouldn’t say there is “NO” evidence to support the thesis that men got offended:

There is no evidence that the "best a man can get" ads pushing back against sexism and bullying contributed to the $8 billion figure.
