SUMMARY
In March 2020, the world faced the rapid spread of Covid-19. Everyone needed to do their part, but there was one generation that wasn’t: Gen-Z.
P&G believes in being a force for good, and so when the Governor of Ohio called, P&G immediately stepped forward. The #distancedance challenge was born, and a cultural phenomenon ensued.
17.7BN views of the hashtag and 4.2m consumer-generated videos later, what started with one call turned into a widely impactful campaign that positively changed the way Gen-Z thought, and most importantly behaved, during the pandemic.
