Creative critique from a gender lens: 26-30 June

What worked: 

 

Swiss Beauty

The ad showcases a woman who takes on the world, unapologetically expressing her true self and embracing her individuality. It beseeches women everywhere to break free from societal constraints and lead their lives with unwavering confidence.

 

It connects with women on a deep emotional level. By featuring a woman who defies expectations, it sends a powerful message: it's time to stand tall, be proud, and celebrate individuality.

 

Gender Sensitivity Score (GSS): 3.25/5

 

What could have worked: 

 

Brooke Bond Red Label 

The ad beautifully captures the essence of tea as a powerful catalyst for bonding and connection, particularly within the vibrant cultural landscape of India. Released on World Social Media day, it ingeniously leverages social media terminology to depict the diverse ways in which tea brings people together.

 

Whether it's a friendly neighbour or a popular chaiwala of a roadside chai stall, the ad effortlessly encapsulates the countless contexts where tea is savored and cherished. It celebrates inclusivity, capturing the intrinsic diversity of India. It's a heartwarming reminder that no matter the setting, tea has an incredible ability to foster a sense of community and camaraderie.
