Christopher Springmann

Christopher Springmann is Executive Producer and Senior Correspondent of On The Path Productions LLC. Body Language and Life Love & Health are Springmann’s latest endeavors in a journey of, in his own words, “creative convergence,” that started as a photographer for Time, Fortune, National Geographic and Smithsonian. He transitioned into writing CEO leadership profiles for Chief Executive magazine, which in turn provided the inspiration for his broadcasting career, one marked by a distinctive and well-recognized voice.

The idea behind Life Love & Health was to address a simple, unmet need: telling America’s health story in entertaining and emotionally engaging ways, through the authentic voices of real people, including a diverse group of doctors and nurses, patients and their families, plus researchers and innovators in the health-and-wellness field. Springmann’s style has always been consistent, whether in photography, writing, or broadcasting: Never lecture the audience. Instead, he relies on the credibility and persuasiveness of people’s passionate storytelling to get a point across.
“Reality Check” by UbyKotex. NOT Your Mother’s Kotex!

Self-parody is the sincerest form of flattery, as this video, viewed by a million+ YouTube’ers, asks the eternal question, “Why Are Tampon Ads SO Ridiculous?”

Quoted in ADLAND.tv, Merrie Harris, global business director at JWT, said that after being informed that it could not use the word vagina in advertising by three broadcast networks, it shot ["Reality Check"] with the actress instead saying “down there,” which was rejected by two of the three networks.

(Both Ms. Harris and representatives from the brand declined to specify the networks.)

“It’s very funny because the whole spot is about censorship,” Ms. Harris said. “The whole category has been very euphemistic, or paternalistic even, and we’re saying, enough with the euphemisms, and get over it. Tampon is not a dirty word, and neither is vagina.”

Ironically, the ad incorporates amusing but aesthetically and culturally dated archival Kotex TV ad footage, further evidence that “Kimberly-Clark’s Kotex brand is hoping to break down the stigmas and embarrassment surrounding feminine care products,” according to mediapost.com.
