In honor of the Cannes Lions this week, we’re thankful for everything creativity allows us to do. What are you thankful to creativity for?

A lot of us have become desensitized to objectifying images of women. Our children have not. All parents approved the images before we shared them with their children.These are real ads that children can see on the street everyday.
Presenting “What Our Kids See,” our newest video as part of the #WomenNotObjects movement, premiered at the 2016 Cannes Lions earlier today.
And just like that… Can-nes you believe it?! Only 1 more day until Madonna Badger’s speech “Sex, Lies, and Advertising” on the main stage at the Cannes Lions!
Guess what?!… We leave for Cannes this week!
Tune in over the next two weeks to get the scoop on all things Cannes Lions. We’re starting our countdown to @madonnabadger’s big speech, “Sex, Lies & Advertising.” Cannes you count down with us?

“Kardashian Naked Barbie Culture.”
We’re proud of the work we did with Naja. These ads show real women without retouching & ditch the industry-standard male gaze. They also dispel the myth that nude = white or tan; instead they show that every shade of nude is real and beautiful.
We were surprised to see this reaction on one of the ads at the Bedford Station in NYC - and so we want to have an honest conversation about it with you to understand the different points of view that these ads may inspire.
What do you think? Is underwear always sexual? What about bathing suits? How should these brands depict their products/women?

Aerie ditched photoshop two years ago and sales are way up
Aerie, American Eagle’s loungewear offshoot, vowed that it would stop airbrushing images of its models back in 2014. Two years later, the company’s sales have been continuously up, with sales in its first quarter of 2016 soaring by an astonishing 32%. More than retouching, the women in the ads have made a huge difference.

Love to see the non-stop work @aeriereal has been doing in their advertising to embrace body positivity ✨ it goes to show that when you’re real, it makes a difference. Way to go Aerie!
