International Women’s Day, which is celebrated this Wednesday, the 8th, proved to be an opportunity for brands to strengthen their position on gender equality and fight the obstacles that keep professionals still in unequal situations in the labor market and in society.

This year, some companies used March 8 to announce initiatives in favor of inclusion goals. Others emphasized female strength in their campaigns.

With the aim of solving the problems related to the bureaucracy of image rights and the like, and so that electronic sports brands can place real players in the games, Guaraná Antárctica launches the botaelasnojogo.com.br platform that facilitates the inclusion of athlete avatars.

The initiative created by Soko includes Bia Zaneratto, Tamires, Maria Eduarda, Adriana and Ary Borges and other athletes who support the #Botaelasnojogo movement conceived by Ambev in 2022.
