Description

Procter & Gamble launched a corporate campaign and became an official sponsor of Team USA for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The P&G partnership, in alliance with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), encompassed 18 brands such as Tide and Pampers. This required an integrated communications plan that would link P&G to its individual brands for the first time ever and promote the company’s corporate purpose of ‘touching and improving lives more completely’ in a tangible way. The ‘P&G Family Home’ was created to provide opportunities to bring this corporate purpose to life through small yet meaningful brand experiences for the athletes and their families that would enhance their Olympic experience. The Home offered Team USA athletes and families a safe, inviting environment to reunite and enjoy complimentary services including meals, laundry, entertainment and salon services. This execution resulted in more than 582 Million impressions. Since the Olympics, P&G posted its highest market share of the year, led by significant gains by priority Olympic brands like Tide and Pampers.
