SUMMARY
Kleenex was in a decade-long slide, with sales, share and other key business measures all in decline. The "Softness Worth Sharing" program was developed to stem the decline - to effectively hold the line. Using our newly-improved, softer tissue as an impetus, we re-framed Kleenex from a tissue to a Gesture of Caring, enabling over 1,000,000 people to share it and show their loved ones they cared. We significantly exceeded our sales and share goals, grew the stagnant facial tissue category and, moreover, changed the game for Kleenex.
