Dove: Dove Deodrant by Ogilvy
- Location:
Dove is celebrating all types of underarms to spread the message that there is no idealized norm.
For years, women's underarm have been criticized if they don't meet the idealized standard set by Greek sculpture: smooth and hairless.
In order to smash the perfect armpit stereotype out the window, Ogilvy and Dove have developed a campaign that celebrates underarms in all their wonderful forms, whether that be hairy, dyed, lasered, tattooed, smooth or glittered. Or even if they have scars, dark marks, moles or vitiligo.
In the campaign, 13 women, from all different backgrounds share their underarm empowerment stories. One lady shares that she wishes the 'ideal underarm' didn't exist.
Another proud woman says point-blank that her underarms do not define her womanhood. Each personal narrative seeks to help women feel confident and uninhibited and to inspire women to show them off, whatever lives underneath.
