Exhibit 1
• Ivory soap – its purity says it all. P&G spent about
$3 million on the promotion
• Tide - Originally developed during the height of
World War II, Tide (called Product X) was not just
a new soap, but a new synthetic formula for a
detergent—a breakthrough product .

speed-to-market an ingrained imperative for the

Exhibit 1
• Pampers - A blockbuster brand that almost single-
handedly created the disposable diaper category for
the mass market.
• Luvs, P&G’s “premium” disposable diaper
brand, gave P&G the chance to offer additional
features, but also forced the company to learn several
difficult lessons as the market became commoditized
and competitors matched Luvs’ premium feature 8
