The Ask

Create a campaign demystifying how teens and their parents talk about periods.

What We Did

Let’s talk about periods! SEE ME worked closely with the Thinx in-house creative team to develop five scripted videos showcasing direct and unapologetic conversations around periods — dismantling euphemisms of the past.  With this empowering approach we captured slice-of-life moments that embodied the essence of how it feels to be a teenager, casting aspiring actors who could relate to the topic and bring their own experiences to the subject. With accompanying photography the campaign had a vibrant visual direction to encourage teens to feel more comfortable with their period and the conversations around it.  

Our Alchemy 

What does it feel like to be a teenager today, getting and talking about their period?  Sensitive to this mindset, we took great care to make the creative a collaborative experience with our final cast, conducting pre-interviews with all talent to ensure their voice and perspective were included within the scripts and settings.
