Ad watchdog reproaches real estate company for reducing woman to objects

The ad watchdog has reprimanded a real estate company, TWT Property Group, for featuring a woman in a way which implied that she was an object “whose purpose in the advertisement was only to be seen as decoration”.

In a print advertisement TWT Property Group featured a woman in a backless ball gown with tall buildings in a window behind her and was accompanied by the words “Living Works of Art”.
