Description

This newest spot, Dads & Daughters, shows the prevalence of unconscious bias in today’s society around the hiring of women. We wanted the execution to mirror the real experiences of women entering the workplace - so we recreated a portion of the process. We sourced real online tips for women who are about to enter the workforce and then asked dads and daughters to read them together. All content and moments captured were real.

The larger issue this video highlights is that job interview tips found online reflect how society sees women in the workplace. Some of the tips found were extremely biased and most of them focused on appearances rather than experience and skills. The tips trivialize women’s accomplishments and send a message that women’s value is based on her looks and not her ability. The video was meant to start a hard dialogue and it did just that.
