Global Women's March – Why I March

Upon learning about the Global Women's March, mcgarrybowen and Intel's Global Creative Director, Teresa Herd joined forces to create a social video that would garner support for the movement. In a collaborative effort we discussed the mission statement of the Women's March and what messages we felt were important to convey.

"Why I March" was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Commercial.

Our hashtag #WhyIMarch picked up traction on twitter as a way for women to tell their stories and express the importance of the movement.

I’ll never forget when my 3 year old son, Mateo Ali told me that he wants to be @HillaryClinton when he grows up. That matters. #WhyIMarch
