Durex: Let's Not Go Back to Normal by Havas London
- Location:
As countries outline plans to ease lockdown restrictions and people look toward some semblance of normality, the brand is encouraging people NOT to go back to normal – because normal wasn’t good enough.
Pointing to ‘norms’ such as shaming women who carry condoms and men not wearing them because they don’t like the ‘feel’, Durex argues that the current crisis represents a unique chance to reset what ‘normal’ looks like. The campaign, from Durex global creative agency Havas London, centres around an empowering manifesto (below and attached), which will be delivered across owned channels and social, as well as further executions over the coming weeks.
It comes the same week that the president of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV claimed lockdown is a ‘once in a lifetime’ chance to drive down sexually transmitted infections permanently.
