Some people took issue with the advertisement because it was directed by a woman. Gehrig was behind the 2015 This Girl Can advertising campaign for Sport England and “Viva La Vulva”, an advertisement for Swedish feminine hygiene brand Libresse. The ad was directed by Kim Gehrig of the UK-based production agency, Somesuch. Gillette has also promised to donated $1m a year for three years to non-profit organisations with programs “designed to inspire, educate and help men of all ages achieve their personal “best” and become role models for the next generation”.

“It’s time we acknowledge that brands, like ours, play a role in influencing culture,” it wrote on its website. Writing in more detail about the thinking of the advert Gillette, which is owned by Procter & Gamble, said the advertisement was part of a broader initiative for the company to promote “positive, attainable, inclusive and healthy versions of what it means to be a man. “Masculinity is a huge part of Gillette’s brand, and there is a recognition in this ad that the new generation is reworking that concept of masculinity, and it is no longer the cliche is once was.” “It is no longer enough for brands to simply sell a product, customers are demanding that they have a purpose – that they stand for something,” he said.
