Execution
Olympics provided a mass-reach platform, but the "Thank You Mom" launch occurred on Mother’s Day (100 days out) with the ‘Best Job’ video in Digital & Social Media, boosted later with TV.
The ‘Raising an Olympian’ content series then delivered on the insight that Moms craved athletes' back-stories. We distributed across Social, Digital, Mobile and TV, driving people back to P&G’s Facebook page to like, share and discover new content.
Within all media, the placements of P&G and its 34 Brands were carefully coordinated to create the corporate "linkage" that would define our success.
As the Olympics Games arrived, a new 'Kids' :60 video launched during the Opening Ceremony as the Americans entered the arena. Brands' spot placements within NBC's Olympics telecasts were managed live to ensure P&G appeared in the events their sponsored athletes were participating in. Content now drove to #Thankyoumom on Twitter, creating real time conversation.
