Creative Execution

The main campaign execution was a TVC, in which the most common generalizations about women were stated out – and turned around by bold Finnish women. The TVC, together with print, radio and social media, aimed to activate all Finnish women to rephrase the known quotations. In Me Naiset campaign site everyone could take part and write down their own unique quote about the life of a woman.

When writing this entry, the campaign has been live for 20 days. In these approximately 2,5 weeks, the official campaign video has gained 94 000 views and thousands of engagements on social media. The campaign site has been visited approximately 25 000 times and over 1500 quotes – also from men! – have been written. The user analytic data of the campaign site showed an interesting fact: 36,6 % of all visitors were, in fact, male. And what was even more interesting, there was almost no division between different age groups – meaning that the campaign both reached and was meaningful to people regardless of their age or gender.

For any media, the obvious way to raise conversation about women, would be simply to start making statements on their behalf. But for Me Naiset that was never an option. Instead of talking for the women, the magazine wanted to talk with them, as a common voice. After all, it was that voice the public needed to hear. For this, the campaign acted as a platform; engaging and involving the women in taking part.
