International Day of the Girl is a youth-led movement fighting for gender justice and youth rights. To give girls everywhere examples of positive power, creative agency Wongdoody and its in-house marketing consultancy, June Cleaver Is Dead (JCID) teamed with global network for women SheSays for a campaign that asked: 'Boys will be boys, and girls will be _____?'

The video stars girls from all walks of life, proudly stating what they think they will be: champions, scientists, mathematicians, pretty, strong, amazing, and even weird. In a world where girls and women are constantly told who, what and how to be, this video empowers girls to be whatever they want to be. Fun animations highlight the words of the girls, transforming them into the positions they aspire to in life.

The video closes with a call to share the girls and women who inspire, with the hashtags #girlswillbe and #dayofthegirl.

For its positive messaging and age-appropriate role models, The Drum’s readers voted the spot the US Creative Work of the Week.
