  • Second Time Moms & the Truth About Parenting
    Second Time Moms & The Truth About Parenting Summary Why does our case deserve an award? In the US, and globally, every diaper brand obsesses about the emotion and joy experienced by new parents. Luvs took the brave decision to focus exclusively on an audience that nobody was talking to: second time moms. Planning made Luvs the official diaper brand of experienced moms. The depth of insights Planning uncovered about this target led to creative work that did a very rare thing for the diaper category: it was funny, entertaining and sparked a record amount of debate. For the first time these moms felt that someone was finally standing up for them and Luvs was applauded for not being afraid to show motherhood in a more realistic way. And in doing so, we achieved the highest volume and value sales in the brand’s history. 2 Luvs: A Challenger Facing A Challenge Luvs is a value priced diaper brand that ranks a distant fourth in terms of value share within the US diaper category at 8.9%. Pampers and Huggies are both premium priced diapers that make up most of the category, with value share at 31, and 41 respectively. Private Label is the third biggest player with 19% value share. We needed to generate awareness to drive trial for Luvs in order to grow the brand, but a few things stood in our way. Low Share Of Voice Huggies spends $54 million on advertising and Pampers spends $48 million. In comparison, Luvs spends only $9 million in media support. So the two dominant diaper brands outspend us 9 to 1, making our goal of increased awareness very challenging.

Bartlett at Harvard Business School, Ph.D. candidate Alice de Koning at INSEAD, and Professor Paul Verdin Affiliate Professor at INSEAD and at Catholic University of Leuven as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.

INSPECTIONNot For Reproduction COPY Harvard Business School INSEAD 1 One Sunday night in July of 1989, Claude Meyer and his delivery team for Ariel Ultra were on a train speeding from Brussels to Paris. They had spent 18 months developing P&G’s first compact laundry detergent for the European market, and now, as they were finalizing the details of a meticulously planned pan-European launch, they learned that Unilever was about to launch a similar product in France—two months ahead of P&G. Meyer, European Regional Vice President for laundry products, and his team were brainstorming responses to their longtime rival’s pricing tactics, package sizes, and a premium-niche marketing strategy, all of which differed significantly from P&G’s European plan. As the train sped towards Paris, they debated whether to change their approach to the French market to meet Unilever’s challenge, or continue with their original intention to implement a consistent Europe-wide strategy.

This contact allergy may cause your skin to react when it is exposed to this substance although it may take several days for the symptoms to appear. Typical symptoms include redness, swelling, itching, and fluid-filled blisters. Where is propylene glycol found? Propylene glycol is used as a softening agent, preservative, humectants, and solvent in cosmetics, fragrances, topical medications, soaps and cleansers, hair care products, and deodorants. Propylene glycol is also found in oral treatments as well as many foods. It is also added during the manufacture of many industrial fluids, such as solvents, thinners, antifreeze, other de-icing fluids, desiccants, brake fluids, and polyester resins. How can you avoid contact with propylene glycol? Avoid products that list any of the following names in the ingredients: • Propylene glycol • 1,2-Dihydroxypropane • CASRN: 57-55-6 • Methylethyl glycol • 1,2-Propanediol • 2-Hydroxypropanol • Isopropylene glycol What are some products that may contain propylene glycol?

  • 2.2.9. Procter & Gamble
    1 Dirty recyclables of a Procter & Gamble brand Credit: Les Stone P&G has made no commitments regarding collection, and neither calls for legislation in this area nor mentions support for DRS. It high- lights different targets on its US environmental sustainability webpage6 than on its UK equivalent.7 At the time of writing, there was no reference to the development of reuse-and-refill delivery models for P&G products on their UK site;8 on its US site, however, the company highlights its 2019 participation in test programmes with TerraCycle’s Loop project in New York and Paris,9 in which its brands Pantene, Gillette and Venus were included.10 When it comes to reduction of virgin-plastic use, P&G states alternative materials will only be used ‘when it makes sense’, and that lightweighting, increasing recycled content and moving towards more concentrated products will take priority.11 However, this does not appear to involve an absolute reduction in the total number of single-use plastic-packaging units. It is also unclear what instances the company will consider using alternative materials in, and which types of materials. In another document on the company’s brand criteria for 2030, it states it will achieve ‘a meaningful increase in responsibly-sourced bio-based, or recycled or more resource efficient materi- als’;12 however, this commitment is nebulous because it does not include an actual target, timeframe or more detail on what ‘responsi- bly-sourced’ means. When it comes to minimum recycled content, P&G talks about ‘continuously innovating with recycled plastic’,13 and, according to As You Sow, has a recycled-content target of 8% for 2025.14 This is a very modest increase – from 6.3% in 2018.

  • Business North Carolina's Third Power 100 List of the State's Most
    elcome to BUSINESS NORTH CAROLINA’s third Power 100 list of the state’s most influential business leaders. This year’s report features stories and interviews Wwith 27 people including the state’s most powerful pork producer, the owner of the nation’s biggest furniture store, and the banker charged with reversing Wells Fargo’s deteriorating customer-service reputation. North Carolina’s rapid growth as a major business center makes selecting the list more interesting — and difficult — each year. There are more powerful people than ever before. After taking suggestions from all corners and quizzing dozens of people for ideas, the edito- rial team settles on the names. We look for leaders who are representative of some broad categories of power: ■ Institutional powerhouses, such as university presidents Vincent Price and Jose Sartarelli and hospital bosses Michael Waldrum and Julie Ann Freischlag. ■ Middle-of-the-action folks, creating a lot of activity and, sometimes, making a lot of money. Drug-discovery investor Fred Eshelman and venture capitalist David Gardner are examples. ■ Outstanding entrepreneurs, including lending genius Doug Lebda and video-game superstar Tim Sweeney. ■ Networking powerhouses, such as lawyer Rob Harrington and banker Jim Hansen. ■ Pillars of commerce, such as software icon Jim Goodnight, auto dealer Don Flow and bank investor Chip Mahan. ■ Public company CEOs including Susan DeVore, Lynn Good and Kelly King. ■ Real estate kingpins including Andy Andrews and Roy Carroll. ■ Singular talents who make major waves in their spheres. Examples this year include restaurateur Ashley Christensen and hip-hop star J. Cole. ■ Thought leaders, including marketing experts such as Peggy Brookhouse and David Mullen.

  • How P&G Brought the Diaper Revolution to China
    How P&G Brought the Diaper Revolution to China by Mya Frazier Tags: Procter & Gamble Co., Marketing Research, Marketing, Procter & Gamble, P&G... When Procter & Gamble set out to sell Pampers in China more than a decade ago, it faced a daunting marketing challenge: P&G didn’t just have to persuade parents that its diapers were the best. It had to persuade many of them that they needed diapers at all. The disposable diaper — a throwaway commodity in the West — just wasn’t part of the cultural norm in the Chinese nursery. Babies wore cloth diapers, or in many cases, no diaper at all. And that, says Bruce Brown, who’s in charge of P&G’s $2 billion R&D budget, is why China presented — and still presents — such a huge opportunity. Today, after years of exhaustive research and plenty of missteps, Pampers is the No. 1-selling diaper in China and the company, in many ways, is just getting started there. The diaper market in China is booming. It stands at $1.4 billion — roughly a quarter the size of the U.S. market — and is projected to grow 40 percent over the next few years, according to research firm Datamonitor. P&G’s success in China has helped CEO Bob McDonald set some bold goals. Last October, he laid out a plan to add one billion customers over the next five years by promoting P&G brands throughout some of the poorest corners of the world. How will P&G go about doing that? To get a sense, just look at the way it cracked — and to a large degree created — the market for disposable diapers in China.
