"Reshape
Your Attitude" uses satire and
humor to make women feel better about
themselves, according to Bridges. The
campaign premiered with a commercial
during the Super Bowl XXXII pre-show.
Titled "Bar Guys," it features
several men making New Year’s resolutions
to stop worrying about their appearance.
The
men ask questions like, "Do I look
fat?" and resolve "I will
not let dress size determine my self-worth,"
echoing concerns usually voiced by women,
Bridges says.
"Men
don't worry about their weight and don't
obsess about these things," Bridges
says. "Why should we?"
Kellogg’s
also followed up the commercial with
three 30 second television spots and
four full-page magazine advertisements,
attempting to downplay the importance
of body weight, according to Bridges.
One
ad shows a picture of a common bathroom
scale that measures IQ instead of weight.
The headline reads "How do you
weigh your self-worth?" and ponders,
"it would be nice if we could all aspire
to a healthy frame of mind as well as
a healthy body."
By
raising questions like these, Kellogg’s
"wants
people to realize that self-confidence
is more than a dress size," Bridges
says.
