Mercy Academy "Life's not a Fairytale"



Really like this print campaign created for Mercy Academy, a Kentucky based all girls preparatory school, by Doe Anderson. The campaign encourages young women to step away from children's fairy tales and acknowledge the fact that they will have to strike to achieve their dreams, and that they do not need a "prince" to do so. The campaign quickly became viral fodder, and was even covered on the American Today Show.


The copy is jarring, and maybe a little harsh, but undoubtedly refreshing and presenting a clear message to future attendees of the school. It has undoubtedly been a positive move, both on the part of the Mercy Academy and Doe Anderson.
