Abstract

This paper uses institutional theory to examine how advertising professionals resist the use of gender stereotypical messages in advertising. Through in-depth interviews, we examine how advertising executives across the U.S., UK, and Turkey conceptualize gendered messages and the strategies used to resist these practices within their institutions.
