Wieden and Kennedy for P&G
Wieden and Kennedy for P&G
Ad agency, Wieden & Kennedy, creates an emotional commercial to convey P&G’s appreciation and celebration Moms. They buy time on the Olympics when millions are tuned in.

The PR agency, Fleishman Hillard takes a different approach.
They create an “event” that earns attention.

The celebration of the world’s greatest athletes often ends with the closing ceremony of each Olympics. But P&G was determined that the global spotlight at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London wouldn’t dim until after the Paralympics closed a month later in September. How to keep the momentum going? Bring in a mom—or in this case, a mum.
The “Proud Sponsor of Mum” campaign set out to do a world’s first: Have a mother award her victorious child a gold medal. On September 3, the world watched as P&G mum Catherine McKillop walked out from the tunnel toward her stunned son Michael who was standing on the podium waiting to receive his gold medal for winning the 1,500-meter race. Son, mother and the world teared up as Catherine and Michael fell into each other’s arms as she presented him the gold.
