The Campaign

We put a typical washing powder commercial in a commercial break. Badly dubbed, abounding in stereotypes, and full of clichés. Where the missus takes care of the household. Signing off: find out what she's really saying in a few minutes, or on equalpayday.be Later in that same commercial break we showed the alternate version: A version where you can discover: THE UNDUBBED TRUTH. The images are exactly the same but now, in the undubbed version, we can hear what she's actually saying. We switch from the clichés to reality. From stereotypes to more assertivity. Inviting women to raise their voice on Equal Payday and close the wage gap.
