Cannes Lions: Titanium Winners 2021 

Bodyform's Womb Pain Stories wins Titanium Grand Prix at Cannes

Bodyform has won the Grand Prix in the Titanium category in another victory for Womb Stories, which also snagged Grands Prix in the Film Craft and Health & Wellness categories earlier this week. 

The centrepiece of the campaign was a three-minute film, made in partnership with London-based AMV BBDO, which mixed live action and various styles of animation to portray the unique, changing and complicated relationships women have with their wombs.

The brand also created a global listening archive where it is collating the experiences of any woman who wishes to submit her #wombstory (which can be done through the Bodyform website), along with broader contextual statistics, advice and resources to support women going through these experiences.

In a previous interview with Contagious about the campaign, AMV BBDO strategy director Margaux Revol said: ‘Even in culture you never hear about uteruses in a poetic, powerful, lifelike way. You always hear it in a medical way, talking about your uterus because you're going through pregnancy or you’re going through a health issue or hysterectomy. And here with this campaign, the idea was listening and projecting and helping through projection to open women’s minds to a relationship they’ve never conceptualised before.’

According to the agency, Womb Stories racked up over 60 million unique views worldwide and in the UK, the brand saw a 200% in its social media followers. The campaign generated 1.5 billion impressions in the UK alone.
