Overview

Execution

In a piece designed to celebrate the under-recognized contributions of female coders, division7 and director Sonejuhi Sinha joined with the shy kids to conceptualize how the internet would shatter without the contributions of women in coding. In collaboration with Girls Who Code and agency Mojo Supermarket, Sonejuhi’s ‘Missing Code’ campaign effectively highlights the importance of women in tech, while aiming to shift the perceptions of what it looks like to be a coder and work in the digital space. In drawing close attention to the gender gaps in programming, the ‘Missing Code’ campaign spread like wildfire through social media during its release and has garnered international praise from publications and celebrities alike. Acclaimed in Shots, Adweek, Yahoo, CNET, Little Black Book, and MediaPost and tweeted by Chelsea Clinton, Billie Jean King, and America Ferrera for its insightful significance, ‘Missing Code’ is destined for an awards sweep in the coming season.
