How to Execute Big Ideas with Branding Expert at Proctor & Gamble
At the recent Donate & Learn Expo, Maria Shibaeva – Sr. Assistant Brand Manager at Procter & Gamble presented case studies to illustrate how to create and execute BIG IDEAS – whether in Social Media, or in anything else you do as an entrepreneur or business owner.
“A Big Idea is true to your business,” said Shibaeva. It is also:
- Disruptive to the market
- Heart & mind opening
- Immediately understood
- Recognizable
- Easy to execute
In front of over 500 of Toronto’s top entrepreneurs, business owners and marketing specialists at the June 10 Donate & Learn Expo, Shibaeva shared a number of successful campaigns. Here are two of our favourites:
Big Idea Example #1: “Thank You Mom”
- Background: 10 year partnership between P&G and the Olympic Games.
- Objective: How do we bring our partnership to life and build the business… BUT stay true to our equity… P&G is NOT in the business of sports… We’re in the business of MOMS…
- Solution:
- Result: OUTSTANDING!
Big Idea Example #2: Freecycle.org
- Background : There are many extremely popular ways of buying/selling stuff online (eBay, Kijiji, Craigslist, etc…).
- Objective: How do we use this digital selling movement to further our planet’s need for recycling and environmental responsibility?
- Solution: freecycle.org a grassroots and entirely non-profit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It’s all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills.
- Result: 7,445,716 people have recycled!
