Write a short summary of what happens in the digital or ambient execution or campaign.

We invented a new moisturizer which – when being rotated by 180° – turns from a men’s to a women’s product and vice versa. The tube’s pink side addresses women, the blue one men. Although they share the same packaging, the price is different: in line with the average Pink Tax the women’s side is 40% more expensive. We promoted our product in a pop-up store, a web shop, with influencers and on social media profiles – letting people experience the Pink Tax firsthand. With the pop-up store we recreated the natural shopping experience where hygiene products usually are being sold. And taking account of studies showing that information is more memorable when it’s experienced by multiple senses, the pop-up store was the perfect solution to transport our message. Here, customers radically experienced inequality in its most concentrated form.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Gender-inequality truly is an issue in highly-developed Germany. Recent studies show that women earn 21% less for their work than men. And on top of that, the Pink Tax charges them more for nearly identical products.
