‘Fem-advertising’ is a fairly new marketing buzzword used to describe inspiring campaigns championing girls and women around the world. And statistics prove that beyond empowering women, the latest trend to hit the marketing/advertising world is paying off for brands. A 2014 SheKnows Fem-vertising survey released the following statistics:
- Over 50% of women polled bought a product because they liked how the brand and their advertising portrays women.
- 51% of women like pro-female ads because they believe they break down gender-equality barriers.
- 81% said ads that positively portray women are important for younger generations to see.
- 71% of respondents think brands should be responsible for using advertising to promote positive messages to women and girls.
