In this edition our investigation looks at the fascinating evolution of women in advertising in one of Australia’s leading consumer magazines, Women’s Weekly.
An editorially-inspired data-driven idea, working with LIDA Australia and its robot, which scanned more than 20,000 adverts in the magazine, we looked at the progression and portrait of women in advertising between 1933 to current day.
The investigation, in light of International Women’s Day on March 8, took six months and unearthed some highly engrossing findings. Naturally, this meant there was no better fit than LIDA to create the front cover – which shows it all – from servitude to self-determination.
Here's what else you can read about in the March edition:
