Inclusive Gaming Razor Campaigns

Gillette Venus recently unveiled the 'Summer Skinclusive Line' as the newest activation of the 'My Skin. My Way' campaign. This inclusive ad takes a "quarantine-friendly" approach to marketing by targeting consumers virtually, on a digital island in the video game 'Animal Crossing.' The new campaign includes over 250 diverse skin representations with 19 different skin types and 8 in-game skin tones. These avatars enable gamers to showcase common skin realities like freckles, acne, hair, cellulite, scars and stretch marks, vitiligo, tattoos, psoriasis, and differently-abled bodies.

"In a world where there are so many explicit and implicit rules on how women should show or feel about their skin, skin-inclusivity and positive representation matters," said Anthony van Dijk, Senior Brand Director of Venus North America. "The purpose of our My Skin. My Way campaign is to ensure that we’re putting out responsible imagery that represents reality and celebrates all types of skin, while also spotlighting the diverse skin stories of women all around the world. With Animal Crossing, we saw a unique opportunity to meet women where they are this summer by providing new ways to make gaming a more inclusive space, while also enabling them to gather virtually, safely on a beach to celebrate summer and skin inclusivity."
