It's time to talk about The Talk

Established in 2006, P&G’s “My Black Is Beautiful” platform was created to celebrate the beauty – inside and out – of African-American women. But as racial bias re-emerged as a divisive theme in the United States, the brand, a longtime advocate of improved lives for all, recognized the need to go beyond beauty. Through a film called “The Talk”, P&G succeeded in sparking a thoughtful, national conversation – one that went beyond shampoo and diapers to launch a new dialogue for the future we build together.

Strands for Trans

If you’re transgender, a simple haircut can be a magnet for discrimination. Inspired by Pride Month’s inclusive values, Barba Men’s Salon launched “Strands for Trans” and rallied against the hate. By tapping into the LGBTQ community’s hearts, minds and flair—Barba sparked a movement that generated 14MM earned media impressions during Pride month, attracted the support of fashion icon Marc Jacobs, and led barber shops and salons in every state, including the red states, to sign up as trans-friendly on the first online registry. All with a budget of $10,000.
