The video that encourages men to help their wives do the laundry has gone viral online and has been trending social media platform.

The difference between the video last year and now is that the first one emphasized gender inequality as seen by two women but in the current video it shows the perspective of a man, a father.

Josy Paul, Chief Creative Officer, BBDO India said, “Share the Load is not just a campaign, it’s a movement for change. By raising a mirror to society, the brand is seeking a better world where there’s equality in household chores, specially laundry. We were looking for a deeper message. We felt there’s a need for a bigger story of self-examination, realization and reconciliation. We were looking for something with greater empathy and authenticity… something that more people could relate to. That was our big thing… to create greater understanding and genuine change. The movement going forward will have more elements to help drive behavioural change in the area of laundry. It’s all very exciting.”
