The Fearless Girl
On the back of International Women’s Day yesterday, New York
has been treated to a stirring and emotive new urban sculpture, placed in an
iconic location.
The Fearless Girl appeared
yesterday morning defiantly facing the quintessential Charging Bull on Wall Street.
Created by McCann New York for State Street Global Advisors,
the sculpture aims to empower women and encourage big businesses to hire female
talent in senior roles, a trend that is becoming increasingly prevalent (as it
should be).
It is simple and, visually, incredibly powerful. Juxtaposed opposite
the angry, raging bull, the vibrant confidence of the young girl visibly emanates
from her strong and gutsy pose.
A fantastic, timely marketing stunt from McCann. Here’s
hoping the sculpture isn’t moving anytime soon. Check it out below and a video
of the message they are hoping to spread here.
