Ads in which women searched for someone named Jacks in a latex suit or fought over a guy wearing a deodorant that made him irresistible. As mentioned, that would be inconceivable today&#8230; and fortunately so.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This leads us to the following question: in a few years, will the communication we produce today look just as outdated, unfair, and absurd?<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure the answer is no, <strong>Havas Media Group<\/strong> has conducted the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/adhertising.com\/destacados\/meaningful-women-2030-el-nuevo-proyecto-de-havas-media\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/adhertising.com\/destacados\/meaningful-women-2030-el-nuevo-proyecto-de-havas-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meaningful Women 2030<\/a>\u201d study (yes, it seems #2030 will be a big year). This study aims to provide a diagnosis of the representation of women in current #advertising. It analyzes the values being projected today and their level of connection with real women.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this study, <strong>2,000 women were convened to evaluate 20,000 advertising campaigns from various brands<\/strong> to see how represented they felt in them. Qualitative workshops were also held to gain a deep understanding of the demands and key values for today&#8217;s woman and how they should be reflected in advertising communication.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the main conclusions of \u201cMeaningful Women 2030,\u201d we highlight:<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffc <strong>Sexualization is decreasing<\/strong>: 81% of creative assets show women without erotic or romantic attitudes. Goodbye to the \u201ctrophy woman\u201d at last!<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffc <strong>The traditional female model<\/strong> (housewife role or sexualized woman) is still predominant in 22% of creative assets. Positive changes are detected in the equality-advertising binomial, but they are not enough.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffc The figure of the independent woman is becoming established<\/strong>. In 58% of creative assets, the woman is working, enjoying leisure time, or consuming.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffc Low connection<\/strong>. The identification women feel with the characters appearing in campaigns drops to 5.3, due to the portrayal of perfect bodies and unrealistic beauty.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffc<strong> Lack of naturalness<\/strong>. One of the greatest challenges for advertising communication in representing women is showing them naturally. It is not enough to show female characters for the sake of it; they must have a reason for being there.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undoubtedly, it is vital to incorporate different perspectives that reflect the new values of women, beyond workplace equality and shared responsibility at home, reclaiming others such as <strong>flexibility, emotionality, or sisterhood, without falling into idealization or the \u201csuperwoman\u201d trap<\/strong>.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why at ROSAPARKS, <strong>Brands with a Purpose<\/strong>, we fully support and join these types of initiatives by implementing projects and actions in which the communication we carry out shows women in a real way. But truly real\u2014not the reality of Instagram, fashion catalogs, or runways. #REALWOMEN. With values, concerns, doubts, strength, and #creativity.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#ROSAPARKS<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#BeGoodBeRelevant<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#CreativityWithPurpose<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#Impactmarketing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we look at communication campaigns from a few years ago, we are shocked to remember the role assigned to #women in advertisements.
