‘I’m normai‘ campaign, which provoked a backlash. But Dove had abackground in the use of real women in its advertising as they hadhistorically used non— actor women in marketing communicationstalking about how the brand helped them. More subtle though, wasthe matching of the real women theme with the rise of realityentertainment. The use of ordinary people in celebrity roles elevatesthe ordinary woman, using Dove, as a symbol of beauty. This new strategy incorporated some basic objectives. Dove hopedto raise awareness of issues of low self- esteem amongst women andgirls, and advertise to women the need to change the way they viewbeauty and themselves in order to raise their self- esteem andreinforce their attractiveness despite the conditioning ofconventional media.
