Is the Always #LikeAGirl campaign from Leo Burnett for Procter & Gamble running out of steam? It’s won plaudits all over the world although it’s one of those things that’s hard to criticise publicly – the equivalent of kicking a ...

There’s a big new survey released today to coincide with International Women’s Day claiming, yes you’ve guessed it, that UK brands don’t adequately represent/speak to women. The research is from Engine’s Partners Andrews Aldridge. Among the findings are: 1/ 76 ...
Read More »Yet more #LikeAGirl from P&G and Always – this time telling teenies to be ‘unstoppable’
I don’t know about girls becoming ‘unstoppable’ but Procter & Gamble’s #LikeAGirl campaign for Always seems so, rolling out another episode telling teenies they can, indeed, be unstoppable. Research apparently show that ‘confidence plummets during puberty’ for 72 per cent ...
