The Nivea Proud In Your Skin campaign has been announced just ahead of Pride Month as a new initiative from the Beiersdorf brand created in partnership with PFLAG National.
The campaign includes the brand's signature Nivea cream tin emblazoned with rainbow colors on the lid as a way to showcase its Pride Month-focused intuitive. The campaign will also see the brand promoting the #ProudInYourSkin hashtag to encourage consumers to share their stories, offering the I Am Proud filter on Instagram and sharing stories from the LGBTQ+ community.
CEO of PFLAG National Brian K. Bond commented on the Nivea Proud In Your Skin campaign saying, "We are thrilled to collaborate with Nivea on the 'Proud In Your Skin' campaign. Proud In Your Skin' is one of the ways we're showing that love takes pride. Through this partnership, we aim to amplify voices and empower LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones to find community as they embrace their path towards authenticity, fostering positive social connections along the way."
