In BRIEF: Dove, Fox, Adobe

LANCOME AWARE  ADOBE

Dove touches consumers’ hearts

In celebration of International Women’s Day on 8 March, Dove launched a video campaign (pictured) to convey the message of true beauty. The video served to convey the importance of truly beautiful women, and the need to appreciate and honour them. The video captured women sharing their stories of important women in their lives. The brand also secretly invited these very people to listen in, hence creating a touching video for the public.

New campaign for AWARE

The Association of Women for Action and research (AWARE) has launched a new Facebook campaign, I am Aware. This is done as part of AWARE'S celebration of International Women's Day. ‎The campaign is an initiative that aims to raise awareness and understanding of gender-related issues especially when it comes to the lack of social support systems for older women, the role gender equality must play to improve Singapore's fertility rate, the objectification of women in Singapore's media culture, and more.

This year, with the launch of the campaign, AWARE hopes to reach out to young women and men in Singapore in the hopes of working towards gender equality in Singapore. This campaign is a collaboration between AWARE and Singapore-based digital marketing agency Xpointo.

Lancome customers create online avatars

Leading French make up brand Lancome has launched a digital media campaign for its Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara. The campaign is targeted at  Singaporean women between the ages of 20 to 40. The creative concept centered on tempting women to use a unique Facebook application to create an avatar online. Animated homepage page takeovers that feature Lancome's "dolls" were strategically placed on Yahoo sites and expandable banners lead the readers to the Singapore Lancome Facebook page. The campaign was developed by Wizwerx and will run on Yahoo! from 27 February to 25 March.
