Rethinking Representation in Advertising

Towards Change

Towards Change aims to reimagine controversial advertising and update them to messages of positivity by using a civic engagement approach. Your insights could transform the advertising landscape and bring about meaningful change by creating tangible alternative ideas!

Our Process

1. Selection

We've chosen a series of controversial ad for perpetuating stereotypes related to gender and ethnicity.

2. Workshop

Through public workshops, these ads are reimagined and their messages positively reframed, employing designer skills and AI for visual representation.

3. Exhibition

An exhibition then compares the original and revised ads, spotlighting the adjustments made and incorporating expert feedback on the improvements.

4. Networking

It culminates in a networking reception, connecting participants with the broader creative industry.

Merely banning controversial ads by the ASA isn’t a comprehensive solution. ‘Towards Change’, is designed to foster deeper dialogue and share diverse thoughts to develop genuine solutions, moving beyond mere political correctness to substantive change.
