The creative rationale behind the campaign comes from girls being taught from an early age to play it safe. The many barriers in the form of social norms and expectations that come in the way of their dreams. They forget through all the adversities that women are #BornBrave. Women represent bravery because they are able to achieve their dreams despite significant challenges every day and at every stage. Always is here to remind girls and women that they are born brave. Brave enough to Dream.
Always Arabia launched the Dream. Dare. Do Always. campaign after conducting a recent survey with Arab and expat women from the region that saw 75% of women looked up to their mother as their bravest role model and 4/5 women believed they were braver than men. However, when asked if being a girl a stopped them from achieving their dreams, 72% of girls said yes! This is what ignited Always to push this conversation amongst women to believe in their dreams and strive to dare and do them.

We want to use our advertising voice to spark change and help women recognize their power and their potential. With Born Brave we are celebrating the innate bravery we are not only born with but that we exemplify every day in the face of multiple challenges … and even on our period. This campaign has a struck a chord with women in the region and the extraordinary stories of bravery that women and girls have shared with us are testament to this.” – Deepa Vaidyanathan, Senior Director Communications, Feminine Care
