Description
This week on the Campaign podcast we’re discussing topics that we don’t often talk about: wombs, vulvas, sex, intimacy, and erectile dysfunction.
Two recent ads, Bodyform’s “Womb stories” and Viagra’s “Love story”, explored these often taboo topics. They also both earned a Campaign Pick of the Week.
Nadja Lossgott and Nick Hulley, executive creative directors of AMV BBDO, made Bodyform’s “Womb stories”, as well as a long line of award-winning ads for the brand before that. Laurent Simon is chief creative officer and Tamryn Kerr is creative director at VMLY&R London, the agency behind Viagra’s campaign.
