Last week, we recognized and celebrated P&G people and brands at the 2018 Best of Brand Awards and Brand Mastery Society Induction.
Brand Masters are individuals who have demonstrated sustained excellence in pioneering new innovations, investing in others, and contributing to the superior value of our brands.
With this year’s inductions, we now have 35 Brand Masters who are leading the way in areas of expertise such as data and analytics, cognitive and behavioral science, and designing brand experiences—just to name a few.
People are the heart of our company, ensuring our brands win the hearts and minds of consumers by being the superior choice every single day. When we deliver that superiority, we achieve winning results.
We also recognized several winning brand teams, with the top honor going to SK-II for its growth across multiple markets over the past 3 years. Here are excerpts and clips from a few of the winners:
