CreativityThe 7 Most Inspiring Ad Campaigns for Women in 2013Vote for your favorite in a strong year for empowering workBy Roo Ciambriello|December 16, 2013ShareBy Roo Ciambriello|December 16, 2013Share It's been a great year for women-empowering ads. Brands tackled everything from gender stereotypes (Pantene) to sexism (UN Women) to cultural repression (Tanishq), encouraged women to be kinder to themselves (Dove), got girls to celebrate their own strength (GoldieBlox, Mercy Academy), and even made a this-is-for-real ad about periods (HelloFlo). Below, we've collected the seven most popular campaigns of the year. Popular doesn't necessarily mean universally loved; none of the work was received without some backlash or criticism. You can vote for your favorite with a tweet. Not seeing your favorite? Let us know in the comments. UPDATE: The runaway winner is Mercy Academy. Congratulations! Adweek Adweek
