Entry Summary
P&G is a marketing powerhouse that is well accustomed to airing high-quality 30-second commercials. But the brand had never before ventured into the realm of long-form documentary. The Words Matter was a first for the company. The film brought together our extensive interview footage with Chanak, as well as other key stakeholders at P&G, archival footage, and visual elements that are synonymous with our video platform.
Brief Explanation
The film profiles the remarkable work of P&G's Michael Chanak in the 1980s, who helped establish P&G as one of the first Fortune 500 companies to add sexual orientation to its equal employment opportunity (EEO) statement of diversity. Twenty-five years later, that legacy lives on. This is the story of one man’s efforts to hold a corporation responsible and ultimately improve the lives of LGBT workers across the country.
