“#SeeHer is a movement near and dear to my heart and I am thrilled that we now have the full power of ViacomCBS to promote #SeeHer and its important mission of portraying women and girls accurately in media, advertising and marketing,” said Jo Ann Ross, President and Chief Advertising Revenue Officer, ViacomCBS Domestic Advertising Sales. “We value the opportunity to work with our brand partners, who share our passion for this mission, to help lead this movement during Women’s History Month and all year long.”
“CBS and Viacom have actively supported #SeeHer across their portfolios since our launch in 2016,” said Nadine Karp McHugh, president, ANA #SeeHer. “They leaned in early and continue to promote the movement with extensive cross-platform integrations.”
The activations planned across ViacomCBS throughout the month of March and beyond include the following:
CBS will pay tribute to seven trailblazing women who are prime examples of what it means to challenge and overcome stereotypes and biases in their industries. They will be introduced in a series of CBS CARES public service announcements in primetime on the CBS Television Network throughout March.
The honorees and CBS talent introducing them in the PSAs include:
- Cheryl Crazy Bull by CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell
- Alejandra Y. Castillo by All Rise’s Jessica Camacho and Lindsay Mendez
