NEDIC is launching a provocative, targeted awareness campaign encouraging clothing labels, fashion magazine editors and advertising agencies to pledge their intent to cast models who project a diversity of body shapes. If you don`t believe that beauty is synonymous with ultra-thinness, now is your chance to send a message to those who do. It`s all part of a new campaign by NEDIC that takes aim at the fashion and marketing industries, the over-arching message being: Cast responsibly. Retouch minimally. By signing the petition, you`ll help make some noise with the aim of creating much-needed discussion and - better yet - change. More information and images from the campaign—created by Toronto-based agency Zulu Alpha Kilo—are viewable at: nedic.ca/pledge A Facebook-based social media campaign is also underway, encouraging members of the public to sign a petition for action. The petition is available at nedic.ca/pledge Posted by: suhujitha on 2010-02-09 15:15:59 Subscribe to the feed Direct Link to this post Next post: Telus FAQ slip up: cranky employee or poor choice of placeholder copy? 2010-07-30 15:04:47 Other posts tagged body image, eating disorders, self-esteem, awareness: Don't forget: there is a search box on every page!
