여권신장 광미국 및 유럽에서는 여권신장 광고, 즉 펨버타이징 광고 캠페인이 활발한 반면 국내에서는 찾아 보기 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사례분석이라는 방법론을 통해 미국 및 유럽에서 집행된 펨버타이징 광고 캠페인들을 분석했다. 사례분석 방법은 광고 및 기타 학문분야에서도 사용되는 방법으로, 특히 트렌드를 살피는데 도움이 된다. 본 연구는 사례분석 결과, 글로벌 펨버타이징 광고 캠페인은 여성인권의 다양한 측면, 즉 미(美)에 대한 새로운 관점, 평등, 교육, 리더십, 가정폭력 등 여성들이 직면한 사회적 이슈들을 광고라는 형식으로 사회의 인식의 변화, 남성들의 인식의 변화를 목적으로 집행되고 있다는 것을 밝혀냈다. 글로벌 기업들을 업종별로 분류해 보면, 소비재로부터, IT 및 전자기업, 자동차, 금융, 장난감, 비영리단체/공공기관, 그리고 언론에 이르기까지 다양하다 또한, 여성 소비자들뿐만 아니라 남성들을 타깃으로 한 광고 캠페인들 역시 집행되고 있으며, 여성 소비재를 기업들뿐만 아니라 일반 기업들, 그리고 비영리단체 및 공공기관 역시 펨버타이징 광고 캠페인을 집행하고 있다는 사실도 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 글로벌 기업들이 어떠한 과정을 거쳐, 어떠한 주제로 광고전략을 계획하고, 크리에이티브에 적용하는지를 분석해 향후 국내 기업들이 펨버타이징을 고려할 때 방향성에 도움을 줄 수 있다.
