How do you elevate a concept that has already been seen by 90 million people and generated 12
billion impressions worldwide? P&G’s answer is to translate Always’ focus on female
confidence into a worldwide call for them to become unstoppable at whatever they choose to do.
To support that next step, Williams, the 18-year-old star of one of the biggest shows around, has
been signed as an advocate to help inspire girls to dispel misconceived gender dynamics.
Research, conducted by the business, found that many girls feel they are boxed into expected
roles with 72 per cent of the tens of thousands surveyed admitting that they feel society limits
them.
This idea of girls being consigned to society’s prescribed boxes is tackled head on in a video to
introduce the brand’s ‘Unstoppable’ theme. Buoyed by its bid to change the meaning of ‘like a
girl’ from an insult to a compliment, the video encourages girls to smash limitations, which are
visually interpreted as boxes they have stamped with gender misconception they encounter
regularly.
Roision Donnelly, brand director for Northern Europe at P&G noted some of the girls featured
in the video had to be assured that it was ok to smash the boxes. It is indicative of the scale of the
challenge P&G’s socially conscious advertising faces in building the self-esteem of girls globally
and is why TED has been brought on board to pivot part of the communications strategy to
education rather than awareness.
The global non-profit channel will host Always-branded content that teaches confidence to
young girls in the hope of changing their deep-rooted acceptance of certain gender dynamics.
Content will be hosted on the Ted-Ed educational platform where viewers will be encouraged to
share them and the lessons they have learned.

4. Additionally, Always is working with educational organizations around the world to update
Always-backed program for puberty that is used in schools.
“You would expect that girls believe things will get better but, in fact, our latest research shows
that one in two girls think that in 10 years there will be the same or even more limitations for
young girls,” said P&G’s vice president of global feminine care Fama Francisco. “This
surprising statistic is a wake-up call for all of us to encourage girls to smash any limitations that
hold them back and empower them to be unstoppable.”
The FMCG business surveyed 1,441 young people aged between 16 and 24 in the UK and 1,800
Americans in the latest phase of its “Always Confidence and Puberty” study. Most (84 per cent)
girls in the UK admitted they felt that society puts them into “boxes” and that this has a negative
impact on their lives. Seven in ten respondents (69 per cent) believe that girls’ lives would be
better if society stopped pressuring them.
Donnelly said the latest phase of activity would revolve more around trying to get people to
change dated views like “girls can’t be brave” and girls aren’t strong”.
Last year’s film became a viral hit and helped change the image of the Always brand by imbuing
it with a purpose. Such was the success that P&G splurged on a Super Bowl slot in February for
the ad – the first time a feminine hygiene brand had run during the match. Some 76 per cent of
the women and more than half (59 per cent) of the men who watched the ad said their perception
of the phrase “Like a Girl” had changed, according to P&G.

6. Share a coke : Campaign
In 2011 “Project Connect” based on its ambition to both
strengthen the brand’s bond with Australia’s young adults – and
inspire shared moments of happiness in the real and virtual worlds
– became known as “Share a Coke.” The first-of-its-kind
campaign celebrated the power of the first name in a playful,
social way by swapping out Coke branding on bottles and cans
with the 150 most popular monikers in Australia.
And it worked.
That summer, Coke sold more than 250 million named bottles and
cans in a nation of just under 23 million people. The campaign has
since made its way around the world, reaching more than 70
countries, to date. Coca-Cola teams from Great Britain, to Turkey
to China – and, most recently, the United States – have put their
own creative spin on the concept, while preserving the simple
invitation to “Share a Coke with (insert name).”
Australia is one of the world’s most developed markets, which means growth is hard. Coca-Cola
has a rich history of effective, innovative marketing. A few years ago, Coca-Cola created “Bottle
Blast”, a campaign that eventually spread to 80 markets. It defined why people loved Coke, but it
wasn’t making Australia buy more of it. Coke had become too familiar, too predictable. Coca-
Cola was given a clear challenge by the head of the Pacific region to do something extraordinary.

7. At the end of the day, our name is the most personal thing we have. It’s our fingerprint…
our identity… in one word. We gave consumers an opportunity to express themselves
through a bottle of Coke, and to share the experience with someone else. The fact that
your name is on a Coke bottle, it can’t get more personal than that! The campaign
capitalized on the global trend of self-expression and sharing, but in an emotional way.
Coke is big enough to pull off an idea like this, which speaks to the iconic nature of the
brand. Who would want their name on a brand unless it was as iconic as Coke? “Share a
Coke” found the sweet spot by making consumers famous through the most iconic brand
in the world.
The overwhelming demand for the personalized cans surprised Coca-Cola. They quickly
became a must-have object of desire. They sent traveling kiosks, which consumers
could visit to customize a can of Coke, to major shopping malls across the country. The
queues stretched around the block…the products became the Christmas gift of the year .
Kids would usually line up for Santa’s Grottoto have their picture taken. I remember
seeing the activation in Westfield, where poor Santa had no one to put on his knee!

8. Another surprise was that people were buying Cokes to show people they cared for that
they missed them… from soldiers overseas in Afghanistan, to loved ones in hospital, to
long-lost friends. Coca-Cola hadn’t really anticipated the packs being used in this
emotionally powerful way. It was an example of how the public took the idea and shaped
it themselves.
