Lionsgate asked PopShorts to help them generate awareness among women and build anticipation for the theatrical release and movie adaptation of this classic book, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, starring Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Abb Fortson as Margaret.
Our Solution
The Best Coming-of-age Story. Period.
This concept was inspired by the comments in Lionsgate’s trailer on YouTube where women shared nostalgic memories from their childhoods of reading Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret when they were a kid.
Women give their men a taste of what it feels like to be a pre-teen girl
Momfluencers and lifestyle/entertainment creators will share a clip from the trailer of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, which inspired this challenge video: They will ask their husbands/fiancés/boyfriends to go to the store to get them tampons and document their experience. How do they know which ones to buy with so many options?
Do they feel awkward standing in line with just tampons and do they feel the need to purchase something else to help it feel less weird just buying tampons?
