Creativity-Online: Dove Asks What If Women’s Negative Self-Talk Was Said Out Loud?

For its latest revealing beauty stunt, Dove took the negative inner thoughts from various real French women and imagined how they would sound if people said them out loud to someone else. The brand asked the women to write down their self-loathing self-talk about their own looks in a journal, and then hired two actresses to say them out loud to each other in a public environment, with the original women looking on.

Campaign: Land Rover to move global ad account into Spark44

Land Rover is poised to move its entire global creative and digital advertising business into Spark 44, the global joint venture agency in which Jaguar Land Rover has a 50 per stake.

Although set-up as Jaguar’s global communications and marketing partner, Spark44 has also been moving in on Land Rover’s creative assignments in recent months, acquiring Land Rover’s incumbent Australian ad agency Morris & Partners at the end of last year.

The main loser in the US and UK is Young & Rubicam, which has produced high-profile award winning work for the Land Rover brand.
