Exploring Diversity: Considerations for Brand Managers in Fostering Women’s Representation in CPG Advertising sheds light on the persistent stereotypes and inequalities prevalent in advertising and marketing campaigns of major CPG brands in Canada. Mauricio’s research, utilizing qualitative analysis, interviews, surveys, and literature, reveals that while progress has been made in addressing these gaps, most campaigns continue to portray women through outdated models and clichés, failing to align with the realities of today’s society.
This project aims to spotlight how women are represented, highlighting its impact on product availability and urging brands to target a broader spectrum of diversity. By advocating for inclusive advertising practices, this study aims to inspire positive change, challenging norms and emphasizing brands’ responsibility in fostering equitable representation.
