Toronto Silent Film Festival: Brand campaign

Most confidence campaigns tell girls they're enough. This one asked why they stop believing it. As concept creator and lead copywriter behind #RealGirlThings, I built a campaign for Havergal College around a single research-backed insight: girls are praised for their achievements, not their effort, which quietly teaches them to avoid things they might fail at. The antidote wasn't a slogan. It was a platform. Our animated film narrated by the school's principal and drawn by 900 of its students asked one question: what if changing how we respond to girls, changes everything? It ran across social, OOH, print, and school programming and said something most empowerment campaigns don't: confidence is built in classrooms, not campaigns.
