Notes:	Equality, diversity and inclusion are global hot-button issues. Same sex marriage, LGBT and #MeToo movements are sparking conversations and reshaping attitudes at every level of society. In conservative Hong Kong, it can still be considered a touchy subject. For Cathay Pacific, diversity and inclusion are more than a trend or social issue. They are an intrinsic part of the brand’s core values. So much so, that when it came to the global rebrand, Cathay Pacific made a point of addressing them within the campaign. Initially, media companies and owners refused to run the billboard. Before the brand could appeal the decision, social media and newspapers championed the campaign – and Cathay Pacific – for this simple, bold, statement of inclusion and diversity. The swell of support forced companies to change their position and run the billboard. With one billboard, Cathay Pacific shifted perceptions, changed attitudes and sparked a prescient social conversation at home and around the world.
