The team at TBWA noticed period dramas were the rage, thanks to Netflix's hit seriesBridgerton. So they developed a funny yet powerful campaign called "Period" for their clients atPeriod.org, a non-profit organization for menstrual equity. It featured European aristocrats dealing with "The Red Plague" and its effects on those who couldn't afford essential sanitary products. The ad didn't just go viral — it inspired other creators to make their period drama-inspired menstruation equity calls to action on TikTok.
"There was such a diverse mix of content from these creators," says Deák. "It was great because they were putting it on their platforms; we could funnel it through our channel and drive people to fundraise, which was our main goal."
