Insight & Strategic Thinking
Summary
This is a paper about the great responsibility of category leadership. And how Huggies took responsibility for a negative societal issue it had contributed towards. By leveraging the brand’s authority in parenting, Huggies took aim at the issue of parent-shaming and the pressure of constant judgment in society by reminding people that there’s no shame in being a parent. This positive marketing approach kickstarted a national conversation, which then delivered three consecutive quarters of sales growth and a jump in incremental retail sales - effectively putting an end to Huggies long-term sales decline.
