Novo Nordisk x Thick Skin

Novo Nordisk’s Ambitions

Reduce the barriers to health care for larger-bodied people, ultimately changing the narrative and destigmatizing obesity.

The Action

Thick Skin – a Four-Part Docuseries + “Explainer Vignettes”

Novo Nordisk and Content Room co-produced a 4-part docuseries, Thick Skin, that follows four remarkable higher-weight women in Philadelphia whose stories will change hearts and minds about the last bastion of unabashed cruelty permitted, and even encouraged, by our diet-obsessed society.

The “Explainer Vignettes” focused on science and facts surrounding obesity and continued to spotlight the extraordinary women featured in the docuseries.
