- Madwomen is a creative agency that specializes in communicating with women. - Traditional advertising agencies are run mostly by men who often don't understand women or appeal to them effectively. - Women now make most purchasing decisions but marketing is still developed largely with a male perspective. - Madwomen uses insights into gender differences to create campaigns that appeal specifically to women through emotional and holistic messaging rather than just facts and features.

- 1. The first UK creative agency specialising in communicating with women
- 2. Nature: Male and female brains are wired differently Task focused – left centric Holistic – right centric • Males score better on tests of technical • Intuition, emotion beyond aptitude than females the straight “facts” are more significant • They are simply more interested in technical • Find shopping fun – a things than women social/leisure activity • Shopping -men find • Take pride in purchase shortest distance A to B decisions - are loyal brand advocates • Online -use search to get directly to the page • Strive for self- Women are predominantly improvement • They are less likely to ‘whole-brained’ – they engage with brands on make links with both • Care less about how social media hemispheres things work – more what they do
- 3. NURTURE: Girls and boys are socialised to be different • Society expects different things from boys and girls • Our culture instils its codes of behaviour, language and values • Girls internalise this special feminine culture • And boys grow up rejecting it as “Considering there are only two genders in the gay, girly or just plain human world and one of them does most of the shopping, it‟s stunning how many companies incomprehensible overlook the psychology of gender, when we all know men and women look at the world very differently.” Bridget Brennan
- 4. Different motivations need different marketing strategies MALE FEMALE • Things, facts • People, emotions • Jokes, sports • Gossip and observations • Exaggeration • Depth and truth • Anecdotes, soundbites • Stories, texture, details • Status enhancement • Connection building • One-upmanship • Relationships • Aspiration • Empathy • Dark, cool colours • Warm, bright colours • Reading • Reading into • Action • Feeling
- 5. Understanding gender differences is essential now that women are more powerful consumers “While almost all of us will acknowledge and even joke about the gender gap in our personal lives, what‟s shocking is how few people have applied an understanding of gender differences to business.” Bridget Brennan, 2011
- 6. And that doesn‟t mean stereotyping or making assumptions • Fewer women are getting married • More women work and have a family • More women are in control of the family budget It‟s not age that‟s important, but life-stage • Women are different from each other • They change according to where they are in life • A 40-year might have a toddler at home, a child in college or may have never married or had children at all • What connects with the situation of one won‟t speak to the others
- 7. As well as having different motivations to buy, men and women also shop differently Male: solitary hunter Female: social gatherer
- 9. Summary • Women are the Number One business opportunity, „they buy lotsa stuff” • Men and women see the world very differently • Men are (still) in control … and can be clueless about women • Not enough ‟stuff‟ is communicated in a way that appeals to women • Most stuff for women is, to be frank, pretty patronising • This is not a feminist thing but a business/commercial argument • The women‟s market is not a niche– they have wallets and power
- 10. Why you need Madwomen
- 11. Agencies are run by men who often have no real desire to understand women 1960s 2000s The Mad Men of yesterday, and today, want to be cool. And understanding the female mind isn’t considered cool – in fact, the opposite is true.
- 12. 87% of purchase decisions are made by women, yet 90% of advertising is created by men • Advertising agencies are run by men • 90% of creative directors are male • Creativity is often seen as a male area • Agencies often don‟t embrace the behaviour differences and different expectations of women • Marketing is masculine – it‟s been developed by and for men and is very good at „getting‟ male culture • Female creatives adapt to male culture • Male traits valued over female – so „male‟ ideas are often preferred by both sexes
- 13. Remember Mel Gibson in „What Women Want‟ ? Say family, children, cooking, driving, periods, home or shaving to a man and he‟ll conjure up a totally different set of images and experiences than a women.
- 14. Having a woman on the team is not enough • It can be difficult for those women to subvert the male „norm‟ • Women can be reluctant to point out or defend gender differences - it reminds them of their own difference when they want equality with men • Women work hard to become part of the male-dominant team - the last thing they want is to draw attention to their femaleness • Women who „harp on‟ about pleasing women can be seen as „party poopers‟ or worse, „feminists‟ • Female traits such as empathy and caring are traditionally viewed as inferior to male
- 15. Conventional research is not enough • Research is often this is seen through the male lens (even if the researcher is female) • Using women in research groups and having female team members is not good enough • Gender difference needs specific, focussed consideration • You need to know what you‟re looking for and you need to actually want to „ Considering there are only two genders, and look for it one of them does most of the shopping, it‟s stunning how many companies overlook the • Our strategy, ideas and executions are psychology of gender, when we all know men all informed by talking to your target and women look at the world very differently.‟ audience Bridget Brennan
- 16. No wonder advertising hasn‟t moved on much 1950s 2000s

- 27. Use pampers and you and your baby will get a better night‟s sleep • Babies wake up at night because • Baby gets a good night sleep their nappies leak – the urine gets cold and disturbs them • Mum gets a good night sleep • Pampers night nappies are extra absorbent so the nappy won‟t leak • So they both wake up rested, happy and ready for the day ahead
- 28. Creative idea one: Functional • Simple message expresses functional benefit • Sleeping baby backs up message and adds emotional engagement • Eye-catching roundel expresses the same benefit in a slightly different way to reinforce the message BUT this is a left-brained approach …
- 29. Creative idea two: Emotional • Key insight: mums know they both have a happier day if they both get a good night‟s sleep • Showing a happy day time baby is the benefit and better than showing a sleeping one • Instead of a plain roundel, we developed an emotive „do not disturb‟ sign This „right-brain‟ idea researched better with mums, so we developed it into a TTL campaign
