Description

This case presents the novel approach Procter & Gamble (P&G) has taken to weave advertising into entertainment. As media channels have become more fragmented, P&G has developed branded entertainment campaigns to reach a more targeted set of consumers. P&G has employed these principles to reach what it terms the “branded entertainment sweetspot”. The case describes P&G’s branded entertainment principles and profiles numerous campaigns that the company has run. It then asks the students to evaluate the campaigns and determine how they would improve upon them. This case is currently only available to professors at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, for educational purposes only. To purchase the case, please contact info@wdi-publishing.com.
