Stuart Weitzman selling sexploitation that harms women and girls

Posted on News by Patricia Arcilla · June 20, 2016 1:20 PM · 1 reaction

In late 2015, model Gisele Bündchen starred in an advertising campaign for Stuart Weitzman, a luxury American footwear brand. In one shot for the campaign, Bündchen reclines in a white shirt, its buttons undone to the middle of her chest and her legs bare; in another she squats, topless, in black slacks. Her body becomes the salient point of each of the black and white images, with Weitzman’s shoes reduced to monochromatic props for Bündchen’s prone body in its various states of undress.

25 Reasons Why Ad Industry Self-Regulation is a Disaster

Posted on News by Caitlin Roper · June 20, 2016 11:09 AM · 1 reaction

We've spent years dealing with Ad Standards, and in this time, we've seen the many flaws in the system- one we argue needs a complete upheaval. Of course, the industry likes things exactly the way they are.

Total tools are total tools

Posted on News by Coralie Alison · June 02, 2016 4:48 PM

We have been receiving complaints against hardware store Total Tools since last year. 

We contacted them in December and this was their reply:

"Apologies if our artwork choice has offended you. We will certainly use your feedback in deciding future artwork for our catalogues."

On their blog they claim to encouraging their female franchise community. But objectifying and sexualising women in marketing and advertising doesn't make for a very welcoming work environment for women.
