I must admit to deliberately avoiding the bad-news stories and surrounding vitriol - which more often than not have their own agenda - in favour of positivity and a feel-good attitude. It's not that I have my head in the sand, it's simply because I'm sick of it (to quote Stephen Merchant!) So I loved this piece by Emily Pinto in Katie Couric Media on chief brand officer at Procter & Gamble, Marc Pritchard, recently inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame, which celebrates industry legends who’ve "distinguished themselves with outstanding globally recognized achievements, remarkable innovations, and exceptional philanthropic work - both within the advertising industry and in their communities." Marc was instrumental in creating "a shift in P&G’s advertising - toward purpose-driven content. These are those ads that make you think, make you cry, and might even inspire you to go out and do some acts of good yourself. In fact, Pritchard’s reimagining of P&G’s advertising strategy can be summed up in two words: growth and good. The company’s approach serves a dual benefit: Promoting inclusivity through advertising is good for both business and society. As Pritchard explained to the WFA: “If you think about your brands as being a force for good, and a way to meet the needs of the people you’re serving, that’s also a force for growth.” Thanks Emily! #purposedriven #customerexperience #employeeexperience #feelgoodmoments #sickofit

TIME TO STOP ‘LATINO COATING’ & PRIORITISE HISPANIC MARKET THROUGH AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT 🚫 Stop ‘Latino Coating’ or kiss your career goodbye, warns the Hispanic Marketing Council (HMC). It has launched a bold campaign –#STOPLATINOCOATING – urging US marketing & advertising chiefs to prioritise the Hispanic market and engage with the community authentically. With a value of $3.2 trillion, this market deserves more than superficial gestures. 💬 "To us, Latino Coating is a form of cultural appropriation that seeks to capitalise on Latino identity for marketing purposes without genuinely valuing or respecting the culture. It’s akin to whitewashing, greenwashing, or rainbow washing, but it preys on Latino identity, offering a mere illusion of inclusivity by adding Latino elements on the surface. It’s activating during Hispanic Heritage Month and patting yourself on the back,” explained Luis Miguel Messianu, Founder, President and Chief Creative Officer of MEL & creative director of this campaign. 👁️🗨️ "It’s time for CMOs to wake up, treat us as we are: the fifth largest global economy,” adds HMC’s Chair & Zubi's Isabella Sanchez. #FairPlayTalks #StopLatinoCoating #HispanicMarket #Inclusion #AuthenticityMatters #AuthenticEngagement #ChiefMarketingOfficers https://lnkd.in/e4fHqcJk

Title: International Advertising Blunder In a globalized market, Fair and Lovely's attempt to expand its reach internationally faced a significant blunder. The brand's ad campaign, which was successful domestically, failed to resonate with a broader audience due to cultural insensitivity. The ad featured a fair-skinned model endorsing the product, implying that fairness equated to beauty and success. The mistake stemmed from a lack of understanding of diverse cultural perceptions of beauty. In some international markets, this ad was perceived as promoting colorism and reinforcing stereotypes. The oversight damaged the brand's reputation, leading to backlash and boycotts. The key learning for Fair and Lovely was the importance of cultural sensitivity in advertising. Brands must thoroughly research and adapt their messaging to align with diverse cultural norms and values. A lesson in inclusivity and awareness, this blunder prompted Fair and Lovely to reassess its global marketing strategies, emphasizing diversity and redefining beauty standards in their subsequent campaigns. #ReshmiP #Fair and Lovely,#MBA22-24,#MBANOV2023, #intagratedmarketingcommunication ,#IMC,#EKTA MACFAST (Mar Athanasios College for Advanced Studies Tiruvalla) Dr. Sudeep B.

Beautiful advertisement with a powerful message.
When an advertisement brings actual tears to your eyes, you know the creative team behind it did their job well. This is the true power of media and advertising. In this 2016 Procter & Gamble “Thank You, Mom” campaign, they feature supportive mothers helping their children persevere on their way to becoming Olympic champions. Their tagline? “It takes someone strong to make someone strong. Thank you, Mom.” It’s brilliant. It’s poignant. It gives me goosebumps to this day. Marc S. Pritchard, Chief Brand Officer of P&G, is known for these impactful, emotional campaigns, mastering the art of authentic connection with customers, that he and his team create. Media has the power to challenge the status quo and change societal norms. Pritchard has most certainly left his mark on the world of advertising and I was so proud to see his induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame last night! Bravo 👏 #AHOF2024 American Advertising Federation

This advertisement encapsulates the essence of empowerment beautifully. It suggests that behind every strong individual is someone who helped them become that way, emphasizing the importance of support, encouragement, and mentorship in personal growth and development. By highlighting the transformative impact of strength-building relationships, it not only resonates with the audience but also inspires them to seek or provide such support in their own lives. In just a few words, it captures a profound truth about human connection and the power of lifting each other up.

Our wonderful Loren Cook and Bronwyn Sweeney swept up the Creative Team of the Year award at Campaign UK's Agency of the Year Awards last night and we couldn't be prouder! Affectionately known as BroLo, Bronwyn Sweeney and Loren Cook joined MullenLowe eight years ago, ‘consciously coupling’ as a team in 2016 and were promoted to creative directors in 2021. They have worked with the likes of TRESemmé, Knorr and Persil, as well as leading Dunelm into the digital age with an effective through-the-line campaign. Some of BroLo’s most memorable work has been with Persil, namely its campaign that focused on period stains. While they are among the most common stains in life, 72% of people feel embarrassed about them. To break the cycle of shame, BroLo engaged with women about their period stains and invited them to be photographed – while they were bleeding. The project lived and died many times due to client concerns, media concerns, doubts and fears. Two years on, the client finally gave it the green light and images for an outdoor campaign were on the verge of being rolled out, when Clear Channel rejected it over its content. Meta did the same. BroLo knuckled down, launching a photography exhibition with the work, which was attended by more than 15,000 people, including influencers and opinion leaders and a very real conversation about period stains took off. As a result, the ASA revisited the case and finally authorised the campaign to run outdoors. Overall, the campaign was able to reach 38 million people and it was duly awarded a Cannes Lions in the Outdoor category for Culture & Context. The Judges’ said: “Really pushing boundaries and making an impact. SO impressive! The idea for Persil, and the tenacity to keep pushing for it, is really inspiring.” #creativeagency #advertising #agencyoftheyear https://lnkd.in/eNAh8ujh

Ever heard how a diamond became forever? 💎 In the late 1940s, the diamond industry faced a decline in sales and a bleak future. Enter De Beers and their ingenious PR strategy that would change the narrative around diamonds forever. With the help of the N.W. Ayer agency, they launched a campaign positioning diamonds as the ultimate symbol of love and commitment. The masterstroke was the simple yet powerful slogan: "A Diamond is Forever." This wasn't just marketing; it was PR genius, embedding diamonds into the very fabric of marriage and relationships. The campaign elevated the diamond engagement ring from a luxury to a tradition, increasing demand and securing De Beers' market dominance. The takeaway? Great PR transcends advertising, crafting narratives that resonate deeply with cultural values and emotions. It shows that with the right message, you can not only change perceptions but create enduring traditions. This story illustrates the power of PR to influence not just consumer behavior but society itself. #PublicRelations #MarketingStrategy #ADiamondIsForever
