Procter & Gamble launched their "Thank you, Mom" campaign in 2012 before the London Olympic Games. The campaign targeted mothers to create an emotional connection and show appreciation for mothers. It featured stories of Olympic athletes and their mothers who supported them. While not promoting specific products, the campaign unified P&G's brands and increased brand recognition by personalizing the company. It utilized various media channels and encouraged users to create their own thank you messages, helping the campaign spread widely. The success of the "Thank you, Mom" campaign demonstrated how creating an emotional appeal through a unified marketing message can significantly impact consumers' perceptions of a brand.

- 1. Procter & Gamble Thank you, Mom Campaign In 2012 before the London Olympic Games, Procter & Gamble launched its global Thank you, Mom Campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SwFso7NeuA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH2dGVAFXgM Thank you, Mom Campaign is a great example of a unified marketing program of P&G that appeared to be a huge success and is having a significant impact on consumers and theirs brand perception. That is why I consider it relevant to Integrated Marketing Communications course and an interesting example to look at as well. It is known that some of the factors of the successful campaign for the company are to target the right audience, understand it, establish emotional connection and create the content that easy to share. And this is exactly what P&G did (Roberts, n.d.). The target market of the campaign is mothers. And this is a good choice because P&G owns a lot of household brands that are commonly associated with mothers as well as moms are usually featured in the advertisements of such products. Moreover, the campaign is tied up with the Olympic Games. P&G products are not directly related to the Olympics but the company understands that family support is one of the greatest feelings at such events and here is where the connection comes: At P&G we know that getting to the Olympic Games begins at childhood and that on each of these athletes journeys to London 2012, there was one person cheering for them louder than anyonetheir moms. P&G is in the business of helping moms, not just moms of Olympians, all moms, all around the world. So were using our voice at the Olympic Games to thank moms everywhere (Procter & Gamble Launches Global Thank You Mom Campaign | P&G News | Events, Multimedia, Public Relations, 2012). P&G used positive and emotional appeal in its campaign. Love to mothers is an emotion that everyone in the world feels and understands. The company was able to use the unified message across the world and grab attention to their brands in different countries. I think P&G has chosen one of the most touching themes and it explains the impact the campaign has. Their first videos were featuring mothers of the athletes supporting their children from the very childhood. But the idea of the campaign is to say thank you to each and every mom in the world and it made the campaign inclusive to everyone. The campaign does not feature the product itself, it is not aimed at selling a particular product. It is about emotional connection with the company in general (P&G aims for moms heart with latest Thank you ad, n.d.). The campaign unified a number of companys brands altogether. And when people feel personally associated with the company or brand, it increases the brand recognition; customers become more loyal and even act as advocates for the company/brand. Another key point about the campaign is that it is ubiquitous. P&G has used a variety of media: TV/radio, newspapers/magazines, outdoor advertising, Internet (including Facebook and Youtube), and in-store advertising. The campaign has gone viral online. Moreover, the company created an

I personally think that the campaign appeals to the strongest relationship people have and there is no way that this campaign will not stay in mind of the consumers what is actually the aim of any advertising campaign. In addition, there is one more thing that caught my attention towards it: P&G was actually sponsoring a number of athletes mothers to come to the Olympics and support their children. This is what definitely creates a positive image of the company. Also after the launch of this campaign P&G has become associated with the major sport event in the world in the mind of the consumers. Isnt it a great way to attract a huge attention to the company?
