Fox Sports announced today that it has formed a partnership with the Association of National Advertisers to support the group’s #SeeHer movement. The initiative has the goal of increasing the accurate portrayal of women and girls in media 20 percent by 2020.
“Using its national sports platform, the Fox Sports #SeeHer partnership will celebrate female accomplishments and encourage conversations between adults/parents (especially dads) and girls/daughters about pursuing career opportunities in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and medicine (STEM),” the announcement notes.
Fox Sports and ANA will launch a co-branded “Celebrate Her” campaign, which will feature in-program ad spots reimagining familiar sports moments to celebrate women in STEM.
“The Celebrate Her spots will be featured in Fox Sports’ most high-profile programming, including NFL kickoffs and pre-games, college football bowl games, and college basketball tip-offs,” the announcement notes. “Several of the ads will include appearances by Fox Sports analysts and reports. The program will air all year with appropriate sports programming.”
