Annalisa Spadola, Marketing Director of Caffè Moak, conferred the prize upon her. During her speech, Annalisa sent out a message about sexism and exploitation of female bodies in the advertising world. “Compared to other European countries, – she explained – Italy is still far away from defining clear boundaries to ensure the use of female figures in the advertising field that are able to guarantee dignity and equality. We sadly keep on being spectators of stereotypes, which see the role of women in an archaic way, and of a commercialization of their bodies used as an excuse”.
