Love & Nudes
"The Stage Zero Collection"
McCann
McCann and Love & Nudes, an inclusive lingerie brand focused on Black women, addressed disparity in breast cancer outcomes by launching “The Stage Zero Collection” – a pioneering toolset designed to help women identify
breast cancer signs on darker skin tones.

Collaborating with medical experts, Love & Nudes meticulously recreated breast cancer symptoms with accuracy for darker skin tones. After 18 months of rigorous clinical trials, they launched “The Stage Zero Collection” on World Cancer Day during Black History Month. The campaign used social media videos, influencer partnerships and
pop-up events to raise awareness.

The efforts influenced policy change in Canada, leading to more equitable breast cancer screening protocols in the country’s most populous province. They also partnered with medical organizations to train new doctors using their collection, ensuring better early detection and treatment. The campaign garnered significant media coverage, with over $7.9 million in earned media and
overwhelmingly positive sentiment.
