The world’s big brands have been awash with purpose through the pandemic – the danger, of course, is that in so doing they become preachy.
P&G is at the traditional end of the spectrum, Google at the tecchie end.

Across the world, in Australia, BBDO has produced a neat campaign for Google showing how Googling can help you shop, locally of course. That’s one box ticked. For an elderly neighbour – another one.
Almost too slick but a welcome move forward from “we support good causes” that defined the pandemic.
MAA creative scale – both: 7.5.
