WHY BRANDS SHOULD EMBRACE POSITIVE MALE PORTRAYALS

12. 3. 2025 | 2 min read Positive male portrayal delivers strong ad effectiveness, according to data from Ipsos. The GEM Index The research firm regularly measures people’s responses to gender portrayal in ads, which feed into its gender equality measure index (GEMTM Index). An analysis of the GEMTM scores from more than 2,000 ads featuring men or boys indicated that those ads scoring high vs. low on positive masculine gender portrayal were +37% stronger on measures of sales lift. High-scoring ads were also +38% stronger on measures of equity share gain. Why it matters There’s a push to change how women are depicted in advertising, but Ipsos’ Samira Brophy notes that marketing is guilty of reinforcing male stereotypes as much as it is female ones. That makes little sense in terms of effectiveness – ads with expressionless or unengaged men scored poorly in the Ipsos index.
