The three-day campaign kicks off on November 20th with a post on Instagram from the animated social media influencer singing a song of love and positivity with lyrics such as, “You’ve got a shine and a light and a glow, and it radiates from your head to your toes.” The campaign was developed by Razorfish.
Dove’s effort is meant to inject confidence for those who may need it, continuing its years-long campaign of promoting self-esteem through its marketing.
The brand created the Dove Self-Esteem Project in 2004 in partnership with the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of West England.
The project’s purpose is to help the younger generation develop a positive relationship with their looks so they are not held back by appearance-related anxiety.
