The New Marketing of Brands: Body Image and Gender

Friday, March 11
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Hilton Austin Downtown
Salon J
500 E 4th St

Girls, boys, women and men in America are profoundly affected by body image and gender perceptions. Kids as young as five years of age express dissatisfaction with their body image. Images in the media, advertisements and fashion magazines, are some of the many factors that influence one’s perception. Can companies that are in the business of making money and selling products change the culture? New paradigms are emerging such as Always #likeagirl and Dove's Real Beauty campaigns that show promise. This panel will bring together experts in research and brand strategy to discuss best practices, what is realistic and doable.
