P&G Encourages Women To Talk About Imposter Syndrome in #RealDeal campaign with Lazada

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines, May 3, 2021 — Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), a leading fast-moving consumer goods company launches a new #RealDeal campaign with Lazada, Southeast Asia’s leading e-commerce platform to raise awareness around Imposter syndrome.

P&G and Lazada Empowers Women To Feel More Confident Together in their RealDeal campaign
P&G and Lazada Empowers Women To Feel More Confident Together in their RealDeal campaign

Imposter syndrome is the feeling of inadequacy despite’s one capabilities. According to a study by the US National Library of Medicine[1], up to 82% of the general population experiences imposter syndrome in different periods of their lives. Statistics from the 2019 Imposter Syndrome Study[2], also shared that 1 out of 2 women experience imposter syndrome on a daily or regular basis, attesting to the fact that women often doubt their own abilities through feelings of fraud and belittlement of their own experiences and expertise.

Dr Lim Boon Leng, Psychiatrist from Dr BL Lim Centre for Psychological Wellness shared that "Imposter Syndrome should be taken seriously. Women who experience imposter syndrome need to come to the realization that people value their expertise, and they can focus on growing through the process. Additionally, they can speak to someone they trust to help them realise that their fears are unfounded."

Although imposter syndrome is prevalent in our society, it is less talked about in Asia. This campaign aims to shed light on this through a short film (Alternative Vimeo Link) telling the real life story of Singaporean entrepreneur, Ms Yeo Wan Qing, founder of social enterprise Hatch, who overcame imposter syndrome by being open to those around her about the struggles she was facing.

Alexandra Vogler, P&G e-commerce Senior Director, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, said, "P&G is deeply committed to equality and inclusion. Through this campaign, we want to bring to light the inner struggles that go unnoticed among women experiencing Imposter Syndrome. Through this short film, we hope to inspire people to start conversations about Imposter Syndrome, and support one another in overcoming it."

Beyond the film, the campaign will also come to life on Lazada across five Southeast Asian markets including Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam in May and June, with a wide range of exclusive offers on P&G products such as Olay, Pantene and Oral-B celebrating female shoppers.

Going global: EyeSee ventures into APAC, reinforces operations in North America

Leave a comment

GHENT, Belgium, Feb. 22, 2021 — EyeSee kicks off 2021 by broadening its global reach and capabilities with a new sales office in Singapore and an operations office in Mexico City. The award-winning company has been steadily doubling in size every year to meet the growing demand for agile & scalable behavioral research from clients such as Twitter, Microsoft, Colgate-Palmolive, J&J, Bayer, Disney, and many more.

Relying exclusively on online research technology (remote eye tracking and emotion tracking through facial expression) EyeSee was able to serve clients in all geographies from its beginnings, conducting research in 40+ countries. However, the fruitful relationships EyeSee forged with its clients drive demand for further global growth in exciting markets such as the APAC region and real-time support in North America.

Joris De Bruyne, EyeSee’s partner explains this step: "We are moving into Singapore to follow our clients, and we have already done projects with our blue-chip clients in Asia."

It is not just about scaling the operations – for Olivier Tilleuil, EyeSee’s founder and partner: "The ability to attract and help develop top-notch behavioral research experts in any market we do business in, is one of the most exciting and fulfilling aspects of this." He continues: "As our organization grows into a true global leader we have a chance to create true experts in our teams and a recognizable brand that stands for cutting-edge behavioral research."

The Singapore office will continue to develop EyeSee’s key accounts in the APAC region. It will be lead by Tom Vande Moortel, and the Mexican office setup is underway with Diego Adolfo Chávez Terrazas, an experienced researcher, who previously worked for Walmart, Colgate-Palmolive, Turner Media and Kantar – as the Country lead and Insights Director.

Tom Vande Moortel explained what sets EyeSee apart in a market brimming in innovation in a hub such as Singapore: "We are very excited to enter into a market with highly developed digital commerce, and our product portfolio is perfectly matched for clients in such an environment."

Diego Adolfo Chávez Terrazas sees the biggest opportunity in a new generation of researchers in Mexico: "We seek smart and talented people who will add value to our clients. For those talents who want to settle the new way of doing Marketing Research in a cooperative and innovative environment – EyeSee Mexico is the place to be."
