Creative Execution

'Speak Up' features young Sierra delivering her script in the recording studio. The video is filmed and edited to give a sense of innocence and carefreeness to create a strong juxtaposition to her script.

The video touched the hearts of people across the world and got featured on leading international websites like Buzz:60, USA Today and India's International Business Times - all to create over 250 million free PR impressions.

Every day little girls learn from the role models around them. Instead of learning qualities that will make them women of substance, they are taught to not speak up for themselves, focus on their looks and do what is expected. The Body Shop Malaysia took action with the online video 'Speak Up'. Together with ‘Good Girl’ and ‘Unnatural Beauty’ the videos featured girls as young as 4 and highlighted the need to think beyond cultural norms and change our ways - so that young girls are inspired to become women of substance and ‘ Be More Than Beautiful’.
