Failing to observe this approach has already been mined dry by Nike and Dove — among others — Adidas launched “Me, Myself,” a girl power campaign that rings like a modern-day sports riff off celebrated femme manifesto Our Bodies, Ourselves. The campaign release, for example, is heavy-laden with buzz words like distinctive, inspirational, individuality, confidence and — our favourite — intimate portraits.
WNBA MVP Candace Parker lent her face to the in-store/online program. Members of the fairer sex can submit “real” stories about their training struggles and successes on the website (where incidentally, you can also “mix and match outfits”!); three entrants will become the face of “Me, Myself” alongside Parker.
Parker synopsized the effort thus: “[Me, Myself] celebrates women of all ages and athletic abilities and shows that despite our struggles we can achieve our impossible.”
Guess that’s somewhat more productive than eating your feelings.
