Brands add depth and range to portrayal of women this Women's Day

Women's Day presents a unique opportunity for brands to delve in to the range and depth in their portrayal of women. Especially for brands whose product caters towards women, it is important for them to let their target audience know how well they understand them. This year brands have focused on the theme of making choices and celebrating the essence of womanhood at the core of their campaigns.

Let us have a look at the Women's Day campaigns that had the most creative impact and emotional resonance.

Commenting on the campaign, Ms. Abonty Banerjee, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer, Tata Capital said, “Gender biases are more common than we think, both at a professional and personal level. As we celebrate Women’s day, #breakstereotypes campaign is a humorous take on gender bias and aims to create awareness on pre-set gender roles. We at Tata Capital, encourage women to create their own ‘space’ through our exclusive home loan solutions.”

In accordance with the theme and all that has been said recently, we thought it would be apt for iD to create a campaign around this theme that would promote a balance and equality between the two genders.
