What we observed
Am I looking fat? It’s a common question women often ask themselves, their friends, spouses or anyone whose opinion they value. Body image issues is a problem that most women face, all over the world. It is also something that is carried from one generation to the next, from mothers to their daughters. As a brand that encourages women to possess a strong sense of self, it thus becomes essential for us to create awareness around this underlooked yet very pertinent problem in contemporary society.
what we did
We addressed this problem through a digital film - Change The Question - which explores a relationship between a regular couple who are forced to introspect on being asked a simple, innocuous question by their daughter, which she has picked up from the mother herself- “Am I looking fat?”. This makes them question if they had been unknowingly giving off the wrong message to their daughter.
Inviting the audience
We then amplified the impact of the video by creating a microsite where users could actually #ChangeTheQuestion and provide positive, uplifting questions instead. This opened a gateway to an important conversation.
To take the campaign a step further, we took 20 of the best entries from the microsite and printed them on Biba clothing labels – thereby taking the message offline, to the consumer.
What we achieved
The campaign made the digital community sit up and take notice with the video garnering over 12 million views across various digital platforms. Apart from video views, the campaign also drove a widespread change in perception, thanks to the microsite where users could #ChangeTheQuestion. It fuelled media coverage, massive organic PR and most importantly, sparked off an important conversation. Also, as a result of the positive sentiment for the brand, Biba also recorded a huge spike in sales.
