Danish design house Georg Jensen is already known worldwide for their artistic boldness when it comes to their sterling silverware and flatware, fine jewelry, watches, accessories and their home collection, and now they’ve decided to take a fresh, new step forward when it comes to their advertising. Instead of using traditional models to promote their products, they have decided to use role models, with the simple message that “You can never be too much you”.<\/p>\n

The 112 year-old company\u00a0is a leader in the world when it comes to hiring women in senior management positions. After all 50% of the team is female, including CEO Eva-Lotta\u00a0Sj\u00f6stedt who herself became the first female CEO of the company when she took over the position earlier this year. Sj\u00f6stedt said in a released statement that “we\u2019ve always encouraged women to be themselves and make their own success – our campaign is the extension of that very philosophy and the women featured are the embodiment of that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The campaign features five influential and inspirational women, including\u00a0award-winning film director Susanne Bier from Denmark, welterweight boxing champion Cecilia Br\u00e6khus of Norway, Australian comedian Sarah Kendall, Iranian professional motocross rider Behnaz Shafiei and American chef Dominique Crenn. All five of the women have succeeded in fields typically dominated by men.<\/p>\n

\u201dGeorg Jensen is for women all over the world who embrace their voices and create their own path – and don\u2019t let anyone else define them. We wanted this campaign to transcend ideals about beauty, putting focus on personality first. The women featured are powerful role models, and we\u2019re very proud to be featuring them in the campaign\u201d, says Eva-Lotta Sj\u00f6stedt.\u00a0\u201dIn this campaign we celebrate five demanding, strong, provocative, loud and ambitious women, who don\u2019t compromise about who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

This new\u00a0campaign will undoubtedly help set the bar high when it comes to inspiring women in all walks of life. The video shows the role models doing what they do best, from cooking, to preparing themselves for a stand-up show, to making a movie. In a world dominated by image, Georg Jensen helps shatter stereotypes and proves that you can be whomever want to be in this life, even when society originally hesitates at the thought.<\/p>\n
