Commenting on Unilever鈥檚 decision to drop the word 鈥榥ormal鈥� and stop the practice of excessive editing of models鈥� photographs, Dr Tamira King, Senior Lecturer for Strategic Marketing and Sales at Cranfield School of Management, said:
鈥淲hat a wonderful leap forward. No more airbrushing or encouraging consumers to aspire to be the advertised perception of 鈥榥ormal鈥�. It is great to see a company, like Unilever, celebrating everyone in all forms.
鈥淗opefully, more companies and major brands will follow this example and begin to reflect the reality of human body shapes in their advertising.鈥�
