Behind the Campaign—

Why redefine beauty?

2005 Dove Global Study:Commissioned by Dove to explore self-esteem and theimpact of beauty ideals on bothwomen’s and girls’ lives.

Findings:“Women strongly agree that “the media and advertising set anunrealistic standard of beauty that most women can’t everachieve.” More than two-thirds of women globally expressedthis viewpoint in a recent worldwide study.

Only 13% of women are very satisfied with their body weightand shape.

Only 2% of women around the world consider themselvesbeautiful, and more than half of women say their bodiesdisgust them.

Dove’s New Definition of

Beauty

“For too long, beauty has been defined by narrow,stifling stereotypes. Women have told us it's time tochange all that. Dove agrees. We believe real beautycomes in many shapes, sizes and ages. That is whyDove is launching the Campaign for Real Beauty.”—from campaignforrealbeauty.com

• “Touch points”—any situation in which the customer comes in contact with a brand or company

• Company-created touch point

• How does promoting “real beauty” differentiate Dove from other beauty products advertising?

“. . . a marketing campaign can be both altruistic andeffective at growing sales. If it touches women’shearts, it will work”—Silvia Lagnado, Dove’s globalbrand director
