While the vast majority of Americans consider themselves unprejudiced, many of us unintentionally make snap judgments about people based on what we see—whether it’s race, age, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. This may be a significant reason many people in the U.S. report they feel discriminated against. Subconscious prejudice—called “implicit bias”—has profound implications for how we view and interact with others who are different from us. It can hinder a person’s ability to find a job, secure a loan, rent an apartment, or get a fair trial, perpetuating disparities in American society. The Love Has No Labels campaign challenges us to open our eyes to our bias and prejudice and work to stop it in ourselves, our friends, our families, and our colleagues. Rethink your bias at lovehasnolabels.com.

Procter & Gamble has released “Always Like A Girl Stronger Together”, a sequel to the 2014 “#likeagirl” campaign, timed to coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March. The Always commercial celebrates a range of female achievements, including that of Olympic ice hockey star Hilary Knight, who broke gender barriers in the sport allowing her to compete against top male athletes from around the world. r mission to build girls’ confidence at puberty and make the phrase #LikeAGirl mean amazing things. The video encourages females across the globe to come together and show all the awesome things they do “like a girl.”
“The outpouring of support for the Always #LikeAGirl campaign after the Super Bowl and over the past nine months is helping change the phrase ‘like a girl’ to mean amazing things and we would like to thank everyone who has joined us in this journey,” said Fama Francisco, Vice President, Global Always. “The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is ‘Make It Happen’ and that’s exactly what girls are doing by rewriting the meaning of #LikeAGirl. The new ‘Always #LikeAGirl – Stronger Together’ video celebrates amazing young girls around the globe and encourages everyone to continue the movement every day and everywhere, because together, we’re making #LikeAGirl mean amazing things.”
The Always #LikeAGirl campaign launched in June 2014, revealed the power of words and how girls’ confidence can plummet at puberty. The #LikeAGirl viral video has been viewed more than 85 million times in 150 countries and shared by more than 1.5 million people around the world. The campaign has demonstrated the profound effect the phrase “like a girl” can have on girls’ self-confidence and inspired a movement which is starting to change public perception. After seeing the #LikeAGirl video, most people (76 percent of women ages 16 to 24 and 59 percent of men) said the video changed their perception of the phrase “like a girl,” according to an Always Puberty & Confidence Wave II Study, conducted pre-Super Bowl. Also, 8 out of 10 women (81 percent) say the video can change the way people think of the stereotypes surrounding women’s physical abilities, according to the Always survey.
“Being a female athlete, I’ve always been sensitive to the phrase ‘Like a Girl,’ especially when I was growing up and was told I couldn’t play with the boys,” said star hockey player Hilary Knight. “Today, that’s exactly what I’m doing – playing hockey with some of the best male hockey players in the world. Girls are breaking barriers and boundaries every day in everything from sports and science to business and the creative arts. Together with Always, I want to inspire girls to be confident and strong, and feel proud when they do something #LikeAGirl.”
The Always Like A Girl Stronger Together ad was developed at Leo Burnett London, Leo Burnett Chicago and Leo Burnett Toronto.
Ad Council has launched “Love Knows No Labels”, an integrated campaign designed to challenge bias relating to sexual orientation, gender, race, age, disability and religion. Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Selma March (March 7-25, 1965), the campaign is centred on a PSA filmed at a live event in Santa Monica on Valentine’s Day 2015. A large x-ray screen is turned on to reveal two skeletons embracing and dancing. As the skeletons separate and walk out from behind the screen, the audience discovers who they really are. This reveal happens a number of times, each with a new set of skeletons highlighting different pairings of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, ability and age to challenge the viewers’ expectation and encourage them to take a closer look at their own implicit bias.
Launched on lovehasnotlabels.com on February 12, the Diversity & Inclusion campaign began to grow awareness and an online community on Facebook through leveraging social media activations posted by campaign partners The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, P&G, Unilever, Allstate and State Farm on their various social media pages. The site includes a quiz testing implicit bias, tips for addressing bias, stories of people experiencing discrimination, and pointers for action.
The campaign taps into the expertise of eight leading non-profit organizations in each of the discriminated classes. The campaign website connects visitors to partnering non-profit organizations including Anti-Defamation League, Southern Poverty Law Center, National Women’s Law Center, Human Rights Campaign, American Association of People with Disabilities, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Muslim Advocates and AARP, where they can sign pledges, report bullying incidents and participate in other activities.
Most Americans agree that people should be treated respectfully and fairly. Yet many people in the United States still report feeling discriminated against. For example, one in five LGBT people report feeling there is little or no acceptance of their community. Six in ten Latinos report that discrimination is a major problem and a majority of African Americans report that they are not satisfied with the way they are treated in society.
Ad Council suggests that Americans might be discriminating unintentionally, affected by implicit bias. “Implicit bias influences how we treat people and how we interact with each other. More broadly, it can perpetuate disparities by impacting someone’s ability to find a job, secure a loan, rent an apartment or get a fair trial. To end bias, we need to become aware of it. And then we need to do everything within our power to stop it in ourselves, others, and institutions.”
“Implicit bias refers to the way people unconsciously and sometimes unwillingly exhibit bias towards other individuals and groups,” said Rachel Godsil, Co-founder and Director of Research of the Perception Institute. “It doesn’t mean that people are hiding their racial prejudices, instead, people who actively reject prejudice may still unknowingly carry around some degree of bias or stereotypes about others. The good news is that once we are aware of our biases, we can begin to take action to reduce the effects they can have on our behavior and ultimately, to reduce the biases themselves.”
The new PSAs will run in donated time and space both online and on television stations across the country. New print and web banner PSAs using a similar skeleton concept highlight the main idea on the campaign website, “Before anything else, we’re all human” and encourage people to learn how to challenge their own biases.
In addition to funding the year-long campaign, partner companies will show their support around keytimes during the year. Each partner company, including The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, P&G, Unilever, Allstate and State Farm, were identified based on their demonstrated commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within andbeyond their organizations.
The Love Has No Labels campaign was created at R/GA by global chief creative officer Nick Law and executive creative directors Eric Jannon and Chris Northam.
Filming was shot by director Danielle Levitt via Persuade Content with director of photography Mike Berlucchi, executive producers Jerry Solomon and Edward Grann, influence technologist and experientalist team Mindride (Yehuda Duenyas and Michelle Stern).
