About the Work

When a beloved Canadian newscaster in her prime was suddenly ousted from her network, there was a storm of conversation about workplace ageism and sexism across the nation. Many women spoke out, feeling personally devasted by the news – especially after sources speculated the respected broadcaster’s grey hair played a factor. As a brand that has stood for real beauty for decades, Dove saw an opportunity – and responsibility – to raise awareness around grey hair discrimination in the workplace and launched a social movement – which started in Canada and went global – to stop women from being aged out for choosing to #KeepTheGrey.
