2 Different Campaigns for P&G's Always Win PR Grand Prix and Inaugural Glass Grand Prix

CANNES, France—Procter & Gamble's empowering feminine-care ad campaigns for women were lauded in a big way here Tuesday night, as Always' "Like a Girl" and Whisper's "Touch the Pickle" campaigns both took home Grand Prix awards at the Cannes Lions festival.

"Like a Girl" topped the PR Lions category, while "Touch the Pickle" won the Grand Prix in the inaugural Glass Lions contest, aimed at celebrating work that illuminates gender issues. In essence, it's a victory for the same brand—as Whisper is simply the name under which Always products are sold in a number of countries, including India, where the "Touch the Pickle" campaign ran.

—Glass Lions Grand Prix
The "Touch the Pickle" campaign, by BBDO India, aimed to remove the stigma around menstruation in Indian society. It included a viral film, celebrity involvement, a TED talk and comic books about the subject.

BBDO India also won a regular Glass Lion for another P&G campaign—"Share the Load" for Ariel Matic laundry detergent.

—PR Lions Grand Prix
The "Like a Girl" campaign, by Leo Burnett in Chicago, Toronto and London, included a viral video that later aired on the Super Bowl. Its goal was to change the phrase from an insult to an expression of strength and confidence.

"Like a Girl" also won a Glass Lion—one of seven Glass Lion winners in addition to the Grand Prix. (Unlike most other categories at Cannes, the Glass Lions don't include gold, silver and bronze awards. They are simply called Glass Lions.)
