26. What can advertising do about “toxic masculinity”?

How can brands move beyond stereotypes? Why does it matter? And what does it look like in a world where 84 men each week are taking their own lives, due to various forms of crisis? James Scroggs, chairman of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and master of the side hustle, speaks to Tara and Andrew about the changing notion of masculinity, the role of brands and the power of advertising when it comes to mental health, and why having a vision of the world you want to inhabit – a “north star” – is crucial for both individuals and organisations. Hosted by Andrew Stephen, L’Oreal Professor of Marketing at Saïd Business School (Oxford University) and Tara Prabhakar, Global Director of Qualitative, Insights Division, Kantar.  Hosted on Acast.
