The statue measures approximately 50 inches (130 cm) tall, and weighs about 250 pounds (110 kg). 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680586 2017-12-09 04:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680586 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680631 2017-12-09 04:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680631 It appeared overnight—a bronze statue of a young girl, hands on her hips, defiantly staring down the iconic charging bull on Wall Street.Installed on the eve of International Women’s Day in early March, the “Fearless Girl” statue was quickly embraced as a symbol of female empowerment and gender equality.State Street Global Advisors, the investment arm of Boston-based State Street Corp., was responsible for commissioning and placing the work, and the result was a public-relations boon for the manager of index-tracking funds that is generally thought of as one of the most passive investors.The 50-inch statue became a viral sensation, garnering plenty of attention from media outlets around the globe and trending on social-media sites such as Twitter with the hashtag #FearlessGirl. Legions of New Yorkers, tourists, politicians like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and celebrities including singer Cyndi Lauper have made the pilgrimage to lower Manhattan to take a picture of the sculpture or pose with it.The stealth placement of the statue, a campaign crafted by Interpublic Group of Co.’s McCann New York, was intended to pressure the public companies in which State Street invests to add more women to their boards. It also promoted State Street’s SHE fund, which invests in companies with women in top executive roles. 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680693 2017-12-09 04:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680693 “Fearless Girl” is among the marketing efforts expected to rake up awards when Madison Avenue descends on the French Riviera for the annual Cannes Lions advertising festival this week, according to ad firm Leo Burnett Worldwide, the Publicis Groupe SA agency that has been predicting Cannes award winners for 30 years.“It’s a really interesting piece of work. It transcends how we think about work,” said Mark Tutssel, Leo Burnett’s global chief creative officer. “It’s become part of the society” and “created conversations,” he added.Fearless Girl spawned almost one million tweets and plenty of free publicity for State Street, including thousands of mentions on news and entertainment TV programs and hundreds of articles in major papers around the country. State Street estimates the traditional and social-media exposure the brand generated with “Fearless Girl” is valued at between $27 million and $38 million. 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680781 2017-12-09 04:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680781 Fearless Girl had its share of detractors, who criticized State Street’s own diversity issues or called Fearless Girl a publicity stunt, hollow feminist marketing tool or defamatory to the longstanding 7,000-pound bull.The publicity from Fearless Girl will likely help State Street increase its overall brand awareness.The publicity from Fearless Girl will likely help State Street increase its overall brand awareness.

State Street said it addressed some of the criticism by releasing its gender-equality statistics.The “Charging Bull” sculptor has accused Fearless Girl of distorting the meaning of his art with what amounts to an ad campaign, and another sculptor created a small statue of a urinating dog that was briefly placed next to Fearless Girl. 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680843 2017-12-09 04:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680843 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680904 2017-12-09 04:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680904 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680937 2017-12-09 04:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680937 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680981 2017-12-09 04:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214680981 'Douchebag' of Wall Street: Suit-clad man is caught on camera humping newly installed 'Fearless Girl' statue 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681020 2017-12-09 04:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681020 People Insulting Fearless Girl An Artist expressed his view by installing dog 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681069 2017-12-09 04:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681069 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681180 2017-12-09 04:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681180 Positivity 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681235 2017-12-09 04:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681235 Artist 000379874 https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681422 Kristen Visbal]]> 2017-12-09 04:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/000379874/q20px94ljltd/wish/214681422
