TENA, the worldwide leader in incontinence products, has launched a campaign in the Middle East to challenge the misconception that menopause marks the onset of an 'Age of Despair' … read morethe name for ‘menopause’ in Arabic and raise confidence in women aged 45+. In response to this year’s International Women’s Day theme, #ChooseToChallenge, the new campaign created by AMV and Impact BBDO calls on Arab women to challenge the 'Age of Despair' and replace 'despair' with their own words which truly reflect this stage of a woman's life. The campaign follows an in-depth survey that gathered data from 600 Saudi women aged 40+ and revealed that over 81% of women in Saudi Arabia believe that the phrase Age of Despair needs to be changed and updated. 82% of women would prefer to use a new and more positive phrase in its place. With 36% of women surveyed experiencing urinary incontinence during menopause, TENA is committed to supporting and empowering women of the region to live their lives unimpeded by the condition. The music-led campaign launches with the track ‘Despair No More’, originally composed for the campaign and sung by Arabic singer songwriter Ghalia, in partnership with Anghami Studios. The single will be released on Anghami, the leading music streaming platform in MENA, in a brand-first use of its new Radio Live feature. The music video for the track features a diverse array of older women creating their own age-positive definitions, using skills from their vocations and passions. In developing the film, TENA worked with real Arab women to portray the achievements truthfully, sourcing an all-women crew that included the cast, the creative team, the director, the singer, and all production partners. The audience can learn more about the women’s stories at the end of the music video, which links through to a mini content series. A social media blitz across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube invites women to share their own suggestions of how they’d redefine ‘Age of Despair’ more positively, using #DespairNoMore. TENA will announce the winning replacement phrase on their social media channels in the coming weeks. 'Despair No More' was directed by Brazilian female director, photographer and cinematographer Camila Cornelsen, known for capturing women's empowering images.
