Synopsis:
In Brazil, women still earn, on average, only 70% of what men earn in the job market. And worst of all: a lot of them were not even aware of the fact. So, we found a simple way to let them know about the gender pay gap in an impactful, accessible, creative form: by using the music of the big artists in Brazilian music as a means of protest.
Execution:
During the month of March, the big artists' songs played on various platforms. Each song was reproduced normally, until it reached 70% of its reproduction, when it would stop. After the silence, people could see a message of protest.“Yes, this song has stopped. But for an important reason. It has stopped after playing 70% because women, on average, earn only 70% compared to men in the job market. And for this reason, it's only fair that they work accordingly to what they earn, right? Today, this artist chose to use the 30% remaining of her song to protest. And to remind everyone that the gender wage gap still exists. But it shouldn’t. Learn more about this and other issues that can interfere with your life. Access AzMina.”
Strategy:
We invited three of the biggest Brazilian singers to protest against the gender wage gap. Each of them kindly donated 30% of their songs, sending a very important message at the end of each one: the awareness of unequal wages between men and women in the job market.
Relevancy:
The campaign uses various entertainment platforms to draw attention to the problem of wage inequality. The participation of Brazil's biggest artists creates a strong integrated campaign, reaching thousands of people through music.
Campaign Description:
We reproduced only 70% of the artists' songs on various audiovisual platforms. And we used the other 30% to protest against wage inequality, sending out a message to raise awareness of this reality.
