Inclusive Advertising in Sweden: The Risks of Falling into the Stereotype Trap
A Study of Advertising’s Ability to
Reflect Our Time in the Years 2015-2020
The Geena Davis Institute conducted a study in partnership with Komm, Sveriges Annonsörer (the body for Swedish Advertisers), and Google Sweden. Together, we analyzed representation within top advertising campaigns that were nominated for three prestigious awards over the course of six years (2015-2020), namely the Guldägget, where the most creative advertising is rewarded, 100 Wattaren and YouTube Works where its commercial effect or impact is rewarded. We looked at this in the context of Swedish demographics, while also reviewing the use of stereotypes within these campaigns.
