Marcel lifts Film trophy for ads tackling bias in football

THE POPULARITY of women’s football continues to grow, and now a campaign celebrating it has bagged the Film Grand Prix for 2024 at Cannes Lions. Marcel, Paris, created the

‘Women’s Football’ campaign for Orange last year in the run-up to the women’s World Cup, for which the French team was one of the favourites.

The film was not just a spot to eulogise the women’s game, however. It also aimed to tackle gender bias among the football-viewing audience. The two-minute film appears to be a video mon -

Film Grand Prix for The Monkeys

THE SECOND Film Grand Prix of 2024 went to a spot for the Sydney Opera House created as an antidote to conservatism and conformity.

The Monkeys, Sydney, which is part of Accenture Song, created the ‘Play it Safe’ film for the 50th anniversary of the pioneering music venue last year. It worked with two of Australia’s most talented creatives: musician and comedian Tim Minchin, and director Kim Gehrig, as well as a selection of the resident performers and companies at the Sydney Opera House. The film celebrates the creativity and bravery that drove the venue’s opening in 1973, but is also intended to remind

Australians of the importance of keeping that spirit alive.

“You ought to play it safe,” sings Minchin in the satirical song. “People like the rules as written, so just give them more of the same… You wanna

steer clear of the discomfort you feel when you walk in another person’s shoes.”

Besides showcasing the work put on at Sydney Opera House that does the opposite of that, the film

tage of some of the best goals scored by the French men’s football team. Halfway through, there’s a big reveal: it is actually footage of the French women’s team that has been doctored to replace them with the men, as a way to show that women’s football is no less technically skilled and thrilling than the men’s game.

Marcel worked with production company Prodigious on the film, using AI deepfake technology. It thus taps into one of the key themes of this year’s Cannes Lions: AI being put to purposeful use rather than simply deployed as a technology gimmick.

‘Women’s Football’ won the Grand Prix in Sport earlier this week, as well as Golds in the PR and Social & Influencer categories. It was also shortlisted for the Titanium and Glass awards.

W+K PORTLAND’S DOORDASH SMASH TAKES TITANIUM

AN INNOVATIVE multipronged campaign for DoorDash that threatened to top the Superbowl for entertainment has won this year’s Titanium Lion.

Created byWieden+Kennedy Portland,‘DoorDash-AllThe-Ads’ delivered every single item advertised during the Superbowl to one lucky winner. In the weeks leading up to the game, as brands unveiled their in-game spots, products were added to a DoorDash cart on a specially created website. Meanwhile a teaser film, influencer campaign and social media maintained engagement and created hype.

was created as a love letter to the arts and creative culture more generally. Participants ranged from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, The Australian Ballet and Opera Australia through to veteran rocker Jimmy Barnes and drag queen and singer Courtney Act.

The second aspect of the competition involved deciphering a complex code that DoorDash revealed in its own Superbowl ad — a VFX rollercoaster by director Mike Diva. Competitors then had to enter the 1,813-character code correctly into a website for a chance of winning.

This caused a huge buzz online. And, with products added to the prize bounty in real time as the Superbowl progressed, it meant fans were watching the ads as closely as the game .

The final prize pot contained almost 2,500 items, including four cars and 60lbs (27kg) of mayonnaise. In all, a standout Superbowl ad that shifted perceptions of DoorDash, best known for restaurant delivery, towards being an allin-one delivery provider.

Ogilvy garners Glass with Vaseline’s transition story

OGILVY Singapore’s campaign for the world’s first clinically-proven skincare product for transgender women has won the 2024 Glass Grand Prix, in a ringing endorsement of the partnership between the company and client, Vaseline.

‘Transition Body Lotion’ was created to tackle the challenges caused by the transition process, when hormonal imbalances can make people’s skin dry.

The project began when Ogilvy’s team responded to a communication brief with a product idea. Two years of research to find the specific blend of ingredients to address the problem later, the lotion went into production. It was launched on International Transgender Day of Visibility in February this year, garnering 158 million im-

pressions as it was embraced by influencers and the wider transgender community alike.

The buzz was buoyed by Vaseline promising that it would be a permanent addition to its range, rather than a limited-edition product.

Ogilvy’s creative around the launch focused on transgender women’s feeling that the world isn’t made for them, with its star struggling with a tiny umbrella, enormous lipstick and cramped elevator.

AKQA, Amsterdam won a Gold Lion with ‘Pink Chip’ for Degiro and UN Women: a set of indices tracking women-led businesses to combat gender bias in the investment world. Silver Lions went to work from India (2) and Bronze Lions to Costa Rica, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil.

Double win for Publicis Conseil

THIS HAS been a week to remember for Publicis Conseil, Paris and Renault’s ‘Cars to Work’ initiative.

After winning the Creative Commerce Grand Prix on Thursday night, today it drove away with the Sustainable Development Goals Grand Prix.

Although the project was rooted in social commitments, offering people free cars during their trial periods in new jobs, it also had a strong sustainability thread running through it. Once participants had completed their trial periods, they had the option to buy

or long-term lease a new or used car from nearly 50 garages across France. However, more than 300 garages offered maintenance and repairs with discounts of around 40% on parts and labour. The scheme thus saved on fuel, maintenance

INNOCEAN’S FREE-PRESS CAMPAIGN LOOKING GOOD

THE 2024 Grand Prix For Good has gone to ‘The First Speech’, entered by Innocean Berlin on behalf of nongovernmental organisation RSF (Reporters Without Borders).

An elegantly shot campaign, ‘The First Speech’ consists of three cinematic films from Stink which overlay images of ordinary people going about their daily lives in Russia, Turkey and Venezuela with the first speeches ever made by their current leaders. Filled with optimistic statements about democracy, the leaders’ promises are in sharp contrast to the lived experience of citizens in the three countries today. Concluding with the strapline Trust The Free Press. Not PrettyWords, the campaign aims to shine a light on the role of organisations like RSF in holding political leaders to account.

and repair costs, providing a more ecologically-friendly alternative to buying an ageing car.

A public information campaign launched in March this year with a digital and TV campaign designed by Publicis Conseil. The agency worked with Division, Paris to produce 120-, 60- and 30-second spots, with fellow Parisian firms Prodigious and Firm Studio handling post production. Gold Sustainable Development Goals Lions went to work from Netherlands, Colombia, Peru and the UK. The category launched in 2018 as a partnership with the United Nations, and all entry fees are donated to Lion-winning charities — a move that raised more than €267,000 in 2023.

Gabriel Mattar,chiefcreative officer ofInnocean Berlin,said: “Reporters Without Borders turns 30 years old in 2024.To markthe occasion,we decided to remind everyone that the free press is fundamental to have a democracywith educated voters.” With over 80 countries holding elections in 2024, Sylvie Ahrens-Urbanek, head of communications at RSF Germany, added: “During a crucial year for democracy, we wanted to pay tribute to it with a strong message that reflects our commitment to point fingers at those who go against independent journalism and human rights.”

Sudakov: how to keep your CMOs in the creative loop

A DAY on from his session on the Cannes Lions stage (Death of a Salesman — Reimagining Marketing’s Value), Mars Petcare president of growth, digital and platforms

Leonid Sudakov is delighted with delegate feedback. “People tell me they found it provocative,” he said. “In a good way.”

The decision to use Arthur Miller’s iconic play as a reference point resonated strongly with Sudakov, who shared the stage with chief brand and experience officer Najoh Tita-Reid. “Willy Loman (Miller’s salesman) has this delusional idea about his own grandeur, and lives in a world where nobody will tell him the truth. That seemed like a

good metaphor for the role of the chief marketing officer amid the transformation caused by digital.”

Sudakov admits Mars Petcare has also had to reinvent itself. A marketer by background, his current role is a direct response to the transformation that has shaken the sector. “Our new structure is indicative of what we believe is needed to succeed. We did some research which shows CMOs are unclear about the value-creation strategy and operating model required in today’s world. For us, creating an organisation that combines growth and digital transformation was the answer.”

In the session, Sudakov

shared three anchors that Mars Petcare, a $30bn business, uses internally to ground its senior marketers. For starters: “If you’re ever in doubt, apply your creative genius to bettering your cus-

tomer’s lives,” he said. Picking up on a high-profile theme this week, he added: “Show complete focus on the human experience, putting tech in the service of that experience. That sits at the

heart of our Grand Prix -winner, ‘Pedigree Adoptable’.” Finally, he dug into the issue of long-term brand building versus industry fads: “There’s so much inspiration, it’s easy to get a sense of FOMO. Here, our internal message is clear. Refocus all your efforts on being the voice for the customers. An emphasis on customers allows marketers to claim back their power and rebuild confidence.”

‘We don’t take ourselves very seriously’

THREE social media stars joined Ziad Ahmed, head of next gen, United Talent Agency, for a Creators On The Terrace session on Thursday afternoon to explore what is being called the Age of Absurdism.

Madeline Argy has quickly risen to fame with her brutally honest life stories and conversational anecdotes. Since posting her first TikTok video in March of 2021, Madeline has gained 7.5 million followers and more than 300 million likes across her platforms. Her advice for brands when working with creators was to let go of the creative brief. “It’s really hard to put out content that is branded, that doesn’t sound like an advert when you have a list of, like, talking points,” she said. “When

you do that, it’s great because it gets information across about the product. But at the same time it’s just not going to reach people. People don’t open their phones to be advertised to, especially not on TikTok.”

Rising TikTok star Noah Miller, aka @nmillz1, has amassed a following of over 4.8 million. Known for his absurdist humour, Noah cited the example of working with Marc Jacobs. Miller has two TikTok accounts and came up with the idea of the two entities disagreeing with each other. The end result was a spliced video of @nmillz1 arguing with himself over whose Marc Jacobs outfit was better. “I think that’s a good example of ensuring that if you give a creator enough freedom to

run, and enough freedom to express themselves, they will be able to deliver a product that everyone will be happy with 100%. And I think that also goes to show you have to be inside the joke to get the joke.”

Yuri Lamasbella, an actor and content creator with her own brand, Myeahh, has a reptation for turning reality TV moments into comedic parodies. “I think this newer generation loves to laugh and we don’t take ourselves very seriously,” she said. “So anything that can make us laugh — we’re definitely watching that. I think people are tired of the deliverables.”

‘Judge

me things we make on the

great together’

SOMETIMES, the thing a brand is most ashamed of can become the strongest hook for creative marketing campaigns.

That’s according to Quiet Storm founder and executive creative director Trevor Robinson OBE, whose work includes the iconic ‘You’ve Been Tango-ed’ campaign as well as Haribo’s series of ‘Kids Voices’ ads. His Let’s Talk Humour session yesterday saw Robinson encouraging the audience to embrace brand taboos in their creative processes.

He related the tale of working on a celebrity-focused magazine’s relaunch, and being ordered never to use the word gossip to refer to its content due to the perceived shame for readers around that term. Robinson went against those instructions, coming up with the strapline ‘The higher the IQ, the more the need for gossip’.

“It was taking on the one thing the client said for us not to do. But where that tension is, there’s always really good ideas,” Robinson said.

“Don’t be frightened of saying the most stupidest things”

“You feel an affinity to a brand when they do say the taboo things, and when they act out of character and they’re honest. Brands tend to not want to share their vulnerabilities, but it might make you love them more!” Robinson’s session was interactive, with attendees playing games including brainstorming the most taboo things different brands could talk about, and devising stand-up comedy routines about everyday objects.

“Just try and make each other laugh,” was his advice. “Don’t be frightened of saying the most stupidest things. I always say: ‘Don’t judge me on the stupid things I say when we’re creating. Judge me on the great things we make together.’”

During his session, Robinson also talked about some of his own iconic campaigns, including the orange assailant of ‘You Know When You’ve Been Tango-ed’, who would sneak up to Tango drinkers and slap them on both cheeks.

“We did not realise that people would start doing it. People were walking around angry because they had perforated eardrums,” Robinson said. “It got banned and we had to change it for a kiss.”

FROM Inspiration to Manifestation: Behind The Scenes With Poor Things offered an exclusive look at the creative journey of the Oscar-winning film.

In the Pinterest session at the Debussy Theatre on Thursday, production designer James Price, and production designer and set designer Shona Heath, who both won Oscars for their work on the film, explained some of the processes involved in creating the surreal, visually inventive sets.

“There was this balancing act of how we were going to show Poor Things, which wasn’t quite fantasy but certainly wasn’t set in reality,” Heath said. “We [walked] this tightrope of creating

Poor Things, rich vision

just the right amount of interest and discomfort and confusion, while people were able to believe her story and our story.”

Price said: “We had never met one another before we were asked to collaborate, so in the middle of this we were trying to figure out each other. We sat together and talked and made a kind of dogma of things that we liked and disliked. We picked architectural details and artists for references.”

Price added that they had “looked for people who were the Godwin Baxter of their time”. In the film, Dr Baxter is the monstrous scientist who brings the main character, Bella Baxter, back to life.

A short lesson in longer storytelling

TWO MASTERS of longform creativity — the Oscar-winning filmmaker

Asif Kapadia and Alexander Schill, global chief creative officer and partner of Serviceplan Group — shared their insights in a session that explored how the extended format can

shape viewer emotions and brand perceptions.

Master The Art Of LongForm Creativity: Lessons From The Big Screen, hosted by SAWA president Kathryn Jacob, looked at the power of long-form tools and techniques and how these can

help brand stories to resonate with audiences. Reflecting on his multi-award-winning documentary Amy, about the singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, Kapadia said he started the project by asking himself what he wanted the audience to

feel: “With Amy, there was a lot of humour. She was funny. She was beautiful. She was this amazing person. While doing my research and making the film, I fell in love with her. And I was also angry about what happened to her.” He added that he wanted the

audience to feel all of that by the end of the of film. Talking about the tools he used to tell a compelling story, Kapadia said everything should be led by the main character — and should be true to that character. “I learn by doing my own interviews, and everything comes out of those interviews,” he said, adding that he carried out 120 audio-only interviews for Amy.

Schill took a close look at Serviceplan’s long-form ‘Penny’ commercial in which a mother wishes her son could get his youth back after the COVID pandemic. The emotionally charged story struck a chord with millions, both in Germany and internationally. “It is based on such a global truth,” he said. “So many families, parents and kids could relate to it.”

‘It was the greatestmoment of my life’

THE OLYMPIC Refugee Team doesn’t have a home crowd. But it does have an extraordinary champion in the shape of Yusra Mardini, the Syrian refugee and Olympic swimmer whose amazing story of courage and resilience formed the basis of Netflix’s BAFTA-nominated film, The Swimmers.

“I’m here today to talk about Paris 2024 and the Olympic Refugee Team,” Mardini said at Thursday’s IOC Secret Speaker session: The Girl Who Swam For Her Life. “They’re incredible. They’ve travelled further and tried harder than anyone else to make it to Paris and each one has an incredible story.” She added that the global refugee crisis has spiralled since her first Olympics in Rio. In 2016, there were 65 million refugees around the world. Today, that number stands at 120 million. “So the Olympic Refugee Team is more important than ever, because we represent the hopes and dreams of literally 120 million displaced people.”

Mardini was born in Damascus and started swimming at the age of three. By nine she’d decided to be the next Michael Phelps. But by 13, she was living through a civil war and “my dream seemed a bit far away”. In 2015, after four years of fear and loss, Mardini and her sister made the difficult decision to flee to Europe. The 25-day journey across seven countries involved a treacherous crossing from Turkey to Greece in an overcrowded, unseaworthy dingy. When the boat began to ship water, the Mardini sisters jumped into the Aegean Sea to lighten the load and then swam alongside the sinking vessel for hours, guiding it to safety.

“Refugees don’t leave their homes because they don’t like it there anymore,” Mardini said, reflecting on why, every year, millions of normal people are prepared to lose everything, including their lives. “We leave our homes because it’s not safe there anymore.”

When Mardini eventually arrived in Germany, her first thought was to find a swimming pool. A year later, she was walking into the Rio stadium as a member of the Refugee Olympic Team. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” she said.

Mardini finished with a call for the world to “create a home crowd” for the 2024 Olympic Refugee Team. “Whether you’re from Switzerland, America or wherever you’re from, please count it as your home team. They need your support.”

‘There

I’M HERE to prove there is life after advertising,” joked James Patterson, one of the most prolific and bestselling novelists of all time, as he took to the Debussy stage for Hungry Dogs Run Faster: A Storytelling Masterclass. Patterson is a former J. Walter Thompson CEO (“But I’ve been clean for over 25 years”); as a young man, he worked in a psychiatric hospital. “It prepared me for advertising and all the people I’d meet there,” he said, adding: “What advertising helped me with was how to write about serial killers.”

Patterson was in conversation with his former employee Liz Taylor, now global CCO at Ogilvy, and their conversation covered many commonalities between ad writing and his current job. He described how he writes outlines up to eighty pages long for all his books. By contrast, his prose style is all about “cutting the fat” — an approach that he honed while copywriting. “My notion is your greatest strength is also your

greatest weakness. My strength is to keep things moving along, but that can also be my greatest weakness because sometimes I don’t dig deep enough,” he said.

Lengthy outlines help Patterson in his numerous book collaborations with people including Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton. Parton brought the authenticity to their shared tale of a struggling country singer, he said, and even contributed songs to the book. A recent job was finishing a novel started by the late, great Michael Crichton. “Crichton was a great collaborator because he never got in the way,” Patterson joked. If there was one lesson to take from his oeuvre, he thought, it was about the power of collaboration to make creative work better — in books and advertising alike. “The client has to be a collaborator too. One of the hard things is having clients who can look at work at a raw stage and get it. If you don’t have that, that’s a problem,” he said.

United in diversity

Asian agencies are embracing diversity, but how and to what extent depends on where you look in a region that encompasses vastly different cultures, social attitudes and legal systems. Angel Guerrero, president and editor-in-chief of adobo magazine, shares some of the work that is moving the dial on diversity in Asia — and it’s as diverse as the region itself

SEVERAL notable LGBTQ ad campaigns have emerged in Asia recently, reflecting a growing recognition of diversity and inclusivity, and support for the LGBTQ community. These campaigns not only promote products but also play a crucial role in challenging stereotypes, fostering acceptance, and supporting the rights of LGBTQ individuals. However, progress is uneven across the region. While significant steps are being taken towards LGBTQ acceptance, legal and cultural attitudes towards LGBTQ rights

vary considerably. Countries such as Taiwan and Thailand are more progressive, while others still have restrictive laws and traditional societal norms. In 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to enact marriage equality and, more recently, Thailand passed a registration bill for same-sex couples that provides them with the same rights as heterosexual couples. These campaigns reflect a broader trend of increasing visibility and support for LGBTQ+ rights in Asia, which is in turn reflected in the work by both multinational corporations and local brands. Companies

including Unilever, McDonald’s, Google, Apple and Burger King are examples. Governments and non-profit organisations, as well as youth organisations, have also started to take the lead in pushing for increased LGBTQ+ rights in their respective countries. Pride marches have attracted thousands across the region to show support for the LGBTQ+ community. Taiwan continues to be a leader in this regard. In October 2023, Taiwan held its largest pride event ever, with more than 176,000 participants in capital Taipei.

On June 1, 2024, as the world celebrated Pride Month, thousands of LGBTQ+ revellers and activists filled the streets of Bangkok and Love Wins placards were displayed across the city. Thailand is also set to legalise same-sex marriage under an equality bill that is heading for its final readings in the country’s senate later this month. Thailand will then join Taiwan as the only countries in Asia that offer elements of legal equality to same-sex couples. In 2023, BBDO Asia’s report, Brand Purpose In Asia, revealed that nearly half of Asian consumers have recently chosen brands on the basis of their

22 / UNITED IN DIVERSITY

‘Bench Coukure’ from TBWA\SMP

social purpose, as well as brands that “make a positive impact on society”. However, when it comes to the potential for brand-purpose messaging around LGBTQ+ advocacy,

“As global demographics shift, it is important for brands to adopt an inclusive, diverse and intersectional approach… The alternative is a brand that will slowly become less relevant”
JASON ROSARIO

the situation in Asia is highly nuanced. In terms of openness to LGBTQ+ issues and advocacy, Thai consumers are identified as active advocates, meaning they are likely to embrace LGBTQ+ openness and want brands to advocate harder for it. They are followed by people in the Philippines and India, where

consumers are more likely to be passive advocates. In Korea, Japan and China, however, those people championing brand activism are best described as ‘sympathetic’. These are countries where the LGBTQ+ community is not fully accepted, but certain niche audiences — women in Japan, for example — would like brands to support their cause.

“We live in an increasingly diverse world,” says Jason Rosario, chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer at BBDO Worldwide. “As global demographics shift, it is important for brands to adopt an inclusive, diverse and intersectional approach to consumer engagement as part of their business growth strategy. The alternative is a brand that will slowly become less relevant. We know that Gen Z consumers are the most accepting consumer segment as it relates to the LGBTQ+ community, and this study demonstrates how mission-critical it is for brands to align themselves in advocating for this community as well.”

Recent examples of work that have moved the cause of diversity forward include a campaign for a product innovation targeted specifically at transgender women. The transitioning process can have a negative effect on skin, which inspired Vaseline and Ogilvy Singapore to collaborate on a new product — Transition Body Lotion — made by and for transgender women. The result is the world’s first clinically proven skincare solution for transgender women, of which Thailand has one of the largest populations in the world.

In 2023, Dove in Thailand and

media agency Edelman launched ‘#LetHerGrow’, which took aim at the traditional practice of forcing schoolgirls to cut they hair, which was having a significant impact on students’ confidence. The integrated campaign, which focused on creating a future in which Thai students can grow into the greatest version of themselves, achieved widespread awareness, advocacy on behalf of girls by the government and influencers, and thousands of pledges to support students on #LetHerGrow.com.

Awarded a Bronze in Health & Wellness at last year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the campaign led the government to lift the unfair rule on girls’ hairstyles. In the Philippines, next-of-kin regulations make it illegal for queer couples to make decisions for each other during medical emergencies. The Quezon City government and ad agency MullenLowe Treyna set out to address this healthcare injustice with its ‘Right To Care’ campaign. The city government launched a Right To Care card during Southeast Asia’s biggest pride march. The card was made operational through a Special Power of Attorney that recognises the cardholders’ decision to agree to, refuse or withdraw consent for any medical care for their partners, including treatment, procedures, tests and prescriptions. Also in the Philippines, McDonald’s launched the ‘I’m Lovin’ Her’ campaign with creative agency TBWA\SMP Philippines. The video features a love story between two women — a narrative that is rarely given the spotlight in the Philippines, where a

UNITED IN DIVERSITY / 23

large chunk of the population remains deeply conservative. The video reached 33.9 million organic views across the social-media platforms in less than 48 hours, with ‘McDo’ and ‘LGBTQ+’ becoming trending topics locally on X. The boundless creativity and imagination of Filipino youth takes centre-stage in a captivating new campaign from Bench, the country’s leading local fashion brand. Called ‘Bench Coukure’ — a play on the words curtains and couture — the

“There’s no form of violence more subversive than financial violence… When we deny someone a livelihood, we deny them a life”
SWATI BHATTACHARYA

campaign was launched with creative agency TBWA\SMP. The video celebrates the joy of self-expression by focusing on the secret rite of passage — dressing-up —experienced by LGBTQ+ children. For many of these young people, curtains and bed sheets are their first gowns, and shiny things at home stand in for their first jewellery. Singapore, despite its conservative culture, has seen

companies including Google team up with Pink Dot, a non-profit movement started by a group of individuals who care deeply about the place that LGBTQ+ Singaporeans call home. This month, Pink Dot’s #NoOneLeftBehind event will see thousands of Singaporeans gather in Hong Lim Park to raise awareness of the ways in which LGBTQ+ people continue to experience marginalisation and discrimination in the city state. Bombay Times, a free supplement of The Times of India, in collaboration with inclusion-first consultancy Pride Circle and creative agency FCB India, launched the second edition of the

landmark campaign ‘Out & Proud @ Work’, which draws on inspirational stories to highlight the discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people and the need for a fair and inclusive workplace. The partnership with Pride Circle bridges the gap between job seekers and employment opportunities, thus helping to create a more inclusive workforce. The initiative also seeks to involve those beyond the LGBTQ+ community by encouraging open dialogue on this important subject. FCB India chief creative officer Swati Bhattacharya said: “There’s no form of violence more subversive than financial violence. And there’s an unbearably high incidence of it in the LGBTQ+ community in India.

When we deny someone a livelihood, we deny them a life, and that’s what this bias at work across India’s workplaces is doing to thousands every day. The Bombay Times’ ‘Out & Proud @Work’ campaign isn’t just a call for conversations — it’s a call to action, which is why we’re not starting this campaign at the beginning of Pride Month, but at the beginning of the financial year.”

With work like this showing the way, the future for increased diversity and representation across Asia’s advertising industry is looking bright. However, there needs to be greater progress across the larger but more conservative markets, in north Asia in particular. Meanwhile, the gains made in the more progressive nations need to be further embraced by marketers to truly reflect the concerns and values of a new generation.
