I'd like to say, "you have no idea", but you probably do... and it's sad all around.
If GamerGate wasn't being painted as a harassment campaign, we'd be even more effective, but just look at what Gawker did to Intel and other advertisers when they started pulling out, misogyny left and right. So other (smaller) advertisers, IMHO, may be waiting for things to die down before pulling out so they can't be linked to GamerGate as the reason for it. We have gotten a lot of big ones though, Mercedes, BMW, Nissan, Intel, Dyson, Kellogs, and the list goes on.
We also found out they listed advertisers and partners that didn't advertise or partner with them so we're working to have an FTC investigation launched (http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php/Operation_UV), oh the joy ^_^
On top of Operation Disrespectful Nod we're working to have Google and Amazon adsense programs pulled (http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php/Operation_Baby_Seal), we've compiled a whole host of ToS violations. It's quite spectacular.
I know I'm having a little too much fun with this, but it's one of the best games I think I've played in a long time. I know, sad v_v
Edit: I should have also thrown in the Dossier that was compiled by 8Chan. It's a very long boring read, but lots of great press information for if/when the mainstream realizes the harassment narrative is BS and they need information to parrot quickly to save face - http://press.gamergate.me/dossier/
