What works
Though the product is for an investment service category that is often targeted at men, the film succeeds in giving equal screen time to men and women. It is good to see the ad recognising women investors, considering that many women are managing their own investments.
Gender Sensitivity Score (GSS): 3.5/5
It is exhilarating to see women driving cars and enjoying the drive as much as the men. Driving skills are important. It gives women the freedom of mobility and access to various opportunities, even if it is just having a great time with friends on a drive.
GSS: 3.75/5
What doesn't work
A humorous, but very stereotypical ad featuring a helpless man stuck between a controlling mother who would not let go of her son and a smart wife who tries to wean him away from his mother.
GSS: 2.5/5
A very male-centric ad.
How is it that we don't often find young women promoting higher education, continuous education or online courses? Some women take breaks in careers due to marriage, childbirth, etc. These women are more in need of such courses to get back into the workforce again. Featuring more women in ads for such courses will help them aspire for better careers and faster career progressions.
