| Notes: | Insight: Globally, 32% of women don’t feel comfortable swimming in public. In the Middle East, that number is 88%. Because conventional swimwear is not made with them in mind. Resulting in fewer women wanting to pursue aquatic sports every year. Idea: At one of the most visited beaches of the region, adidas turned every woman in Dubai into ambassadors for its new inclusive swimwear collection, by creating the Liquid Billboard. The world’s first billboard that women could actually swim in. Encouraging women of all shapes, ethnicities, religions and abilities to break down the barriers holding them back by diving into the billboard and becoming part of the global conversation. Execution: The 5-meter high and 3-meter deep that doubles as a fully usable swimming pool capable of holding 11500 gallons of water, was built in less than three weeks. The structure was fitted with special underwater cameras that transformed every woman’s experience into personalized adidas posters and live-streamed every dive on the city’s largest digital display at Dubai Mall. Results: For the first time, women who’ve only seen athletes and models on billboards, saw themselves celebrated the same way. Within a week, the billboard started a global conversation about inclusivity in swimming across more than 50 countries. 295 million total reach $1.35 million earned media 50+ countries across 6 continents |
