Between ages 7 -10 over 1/3 of girls believe their appearance is the thing that mattered most about them. We are all understanding the responsibility and power of brands when it comes to #brandsplaining. Great article linked to the book from @PrettyLitHead https://t.co/Xm6WVtzQZW

#Brandsplaining by @PrettyLitHead just landed on my doorstep. Excited to begin living in a world where Venus Ads are nothing but a figment from the past... #AmReading
If you work in advertising, especially as a (male) strategist or (male) creative please read Brandsplaining.
The industry’s been talking to women all wrong for years. Let’s NEVER have a repeat of that Boots girls-dancing-in-the-sea ad again?
Here’s the best advice in the book:
Add "Brandsplaining" to basket.
It's time to take apart the patriarchy propaganda machine that is today's advertising - and build up new messaging that empowers women and girls.
Looking forward to it @PrettyLitHead
Adding to our reading list--"Brandsplaining: Why Marketing is (Still) Sexist and How to Fix It" by Jane Cunningham & Philippa Roberts, looks at how many brands are still using the 'good girl' persona in their advertising, albiet more subtly. https://t.co/vM4OZpWo0p
Highly recommended for anyone who STILL thinks gender inequality isn’t an issue (!!) & especially those who maybe would like to positively influence women (rather than really irritate them) with your marketing/advertising
