This film from Grey Tokyo for Procter & Gamble’s Pantene features an interview with two transgender former job hunters, helping to heighten awareness of the stress people from the LGBTQ+ community might be going through when seeking employment. Not only the normal stress that most applicants face during a job interview but a bigger question of whether to be “themselves.”
The #PrideHair project is the third installment of Pantene Japan’s “#HairWeGo: My Hair Moves Me Forward” campaign, encouraging everyone to express their true selves and to take the first step towards being who they really want to be.

The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
