Menopause. The last great societal stigma of a woman’s life. Not only do people not like to discuss it. Often times doctors won’t address it or give it the time it deserves. And even menopausal women themselves suffer in silence through its painful symptoms.
With the new campaign, Long May She Reign, TherapeuticsMD, Inc. is introducing menopausing women to IMVEXXY, an estrogen vaginal insert that can relieve moderate to severe painful sex due to menopause.
And the best way to tackle an ignored medical issue and underserved population of patients is to stop the stigma in its tracks. Be bold about the fact that women over 50+ years old are vibrant and in control of their lives. Talk about the problem, and more importantly, the solution, in empowering ways that recontextualize what a menopausal woman looks, acts and feels like in 2021.
And finally do all of this by adhering to the constraints of a traditional pharma campaign, created by McCann New York, while creating something that is anything but. Watch the beautiful spot directed by Hungary by Ivan Stoji below:

“Our goal with the “Long May She Reign” campaign is to help to break the stigma around menopause and encourage women to speak up about their symptoms. We created this beautiful campaign for IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) to ensure women’s vaginal health is given the attention it deserves,” said Roz Silbershatz Tomάs, Director, Consumer Marketing, TherapeuticsMD
This is “Long May She Reign.” A world where the menopausal vagina is Queen. And IMVEXXY is her ally, so she can conquer the bedroom for the rest of her reign.
The “Reign” advertising campaign is debuting in Q2 2021 and will appear on social and digital properties where women are already seeking health information.
