Description

"For your age" is an insult wrapped in a compliment.

You aren't beautiful for your age. You aren't talented for your age. You aren't smart for your age. You are beautiful, talented and smart, period. It's time to remove "for your age" from the vernacular.

Execution

Our campaign ran for 2 weeks and was built around hero content-a film entitled "Photo Shoot"-designed to spark a discussion about women and age. We created short and long form video versions distributed across digital partners including Buzzfeed, Cosmo, NowThis, Refinery29, and Time Inc, and across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat social platforms. To amplify the conversation, we enlisted 196 digital influencers to drive followers to view the videos and share their own stories.
